* Moreover the word of the LORD came to me , saying , * "Son of man , set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it , * and say to it , "Thus says the Lord GOD : "Behold , O Mount Seir , I am against you ; I will stretch out My hand against you , And make you most desolate ; * I shall lay your cities waste , And you shall be desolate . Then you shall know that I am the LORD . * "Because you have had an ancient hatred , and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity , when their iniquity came to an end , * therefore , as I live ," says the Lord GOD , "I will prepare you for blood , and blood shall pursue you ; since you have not hated blood , therefore blood shall pursue you . * Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate , and cut off from it the one who leaves and the one who returns . * And I will fill its mountains with the slain ; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall . * I will make you perpetually desolate , and your cities shall be uninhabited ; then you shall know that I am the LORD . * "Because you have said , "These two nations and these two countries shall be mine , and we will possess them ,' although the LORD was there , * therefore , as I live ," says the Lord GOD , "I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them ; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you . * Then you shall know that I am the LORD . I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel , saying , "They are desolate ; they are given to us to consume .' * Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me ; I have heard them ." * "Thus says the Lord GOD : "The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate . * As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate , so I will do to you ; you shall be desolate , O Mount Seir , as well as all of Edom--all of it ! Then they shall know that I am the LORD ."'
