Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, |
|
|
|
2
|
Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it, |
|
|
|
3
|
And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. |
|
|
|
4
|
I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I the LORD. |
|
|
|
5
|
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time iniquity an end: |
|
|
|
6
|
Therefore, I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee. |
|
|
|
7
|
Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth. |
|
|
|
8
|
And I will fill his mountains with his slain : in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword. |
|
|
|
9
|
I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I the LORD. |
|
|
|
10
|
Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: |
|
|
|
11
|
Therefore, I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee. |
|
|
|
12
|
And thou shalt know that I the LORD, I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume. |
|
|
|
13
|
Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard . |
|
|
|
14
|
Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. |
|
|
|
15
|
As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, all of it: and they shall know that I the LORD. |
