* Moreover , the word of Jehovah came to me , saying : * Son of man , set thy face against Mount Seir , and prophesy against it , * and say to it , Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Behold , I am against thee , O Mount Seir , and I will stretch out my hand against thee , and I will make thee an utter desolation ; * I will lay thy cities waste , and thou shalt be desolate , and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah . * Because thou bearest a perpetual hatred , and deliverest up the sons of Israel to the sword in the time of their calamity , in the time when iniquity bringeth destruction : * therefore , as I live , saith the Lord Jehovah , surely , to blood will I bring thee , and blood shall pursue thee ; since thou hast not hated blood , blood shall pursue thee . * Thus will I make Mount Seir an utter desolation , and cut off from it him that passeth out , and him that returneth . * And I will fill his valleys with the slain . Upon thy hills and in thy plains and in thy valleys shall fall they that are slain with the sword . * I will make thee a perpetual desolation , and thy cities shall not be inhabited ; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah . * Because thou hast said , "These two nations and these two countries shall be mine , and we shall possess them ," whereas Jehovah was there ; * therefore , as I live , saith the Lord Jehovah , I will do according to thine anger and according to thine envy which in thy hatred against them thou hast practised , and I will make myself known to them when I judge thee . * And thou shalt know that I am Jehovah , and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel , saying : "They are laid desolate ; to us are they given to be devoured ." * Thus with your mouth have ye magnified yourselves against me , and multiplied your words against me ; I have heard them . * Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : When the whole land rejoiceth , I will prepare desolation for thee . * As thou didst rejoice over my inheritance , the house of Israel , because it was desolate , so will I do to thee ! Mount Seir shall be desolate , and all Edom , even all of it ; and they shall know that I am Jehovah .
