MOREOVER the word of LORD came to me, saying,

2 "Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,

3 "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;

4 I shall lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate. Then you shall be desolate. Then you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 '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 calamity, when their iniquity came to an end,

6 "Therefore, as I live, "says the Lord GOD, "I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall persue you; since you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall persue you.

7 "Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off  from it the one who leaves and the one who returns.

8 "And I will fill its mountains with slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall.

9 "I will make you perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; then you shall know that I am the LORD.

10 "Because you have said, 'These two nations and these two counteries shall be mine, and we possess them,' although the LORD was there,

11 "Therfore as I live, "says the Lord GOD, "I will do according to your anger and according to the envy which you have showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judged you.

12 "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.'

13 "Thus with your mouth you are boasted against Me and multiplied your words against Me; I have heard them."

14 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate.

15 "As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you; you shall desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom - all of it! Then they shall know that I am the LORD." 'EZEKIEL 35
