|
| 1 And the word of Yahweh came, unto me, saying, |
|
| 2 Son of man, Set thy face against Mount Seir,–and prophesy against it; |
|
| 3 and thou shalt say to it, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! against thee, Mount Seir,–Therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, And I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment: |
|
| 4 Thy cities, will I lay waste, And, thou–a desolation, shalt become,–So shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh. |
|
| 5 Because thou hast had an age-abiding enmity, And hast delivered up the sons of Israel unto the hands of the sword,–In the time of their misfortune, In the time of the final punishment for iniquity, |
|
| 6 Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely, regarding blood, will I deal with thee, Blood, therefore, shall pursue thee,–Since, blood, thou hast not hated, Therefore, blood, shall pursue thee, |
|
| 7 So then I will deliver up Mount Seir, to desolation after desolation,–And will cut off therefrom, him that passeth by and him that returneth, |
|
| 8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain,–As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword, shall fall therein: |
|
| 9 Desolations age-abiding, will I make thee, And, thy cities, shall not be inhabited,–So shall ye know, that, I, am Yahweh. |
|
| |
|
| 10 Because thou hast said, the two nations, and the two lands, mine, shall become, that we may possess it, Whereas, Yahweh, had been, there, |
|
| 11 Therefore, as I live, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, I will even deal according to thine anger, and according to thine envy, wherewith thou hast dealt, out of thy hatred, with them,–So will I make myself known among them, as soon as I shall judge thee! |
|
| 12 And thou shalt know, that, I Yahweh, have heard all thy revilings, which thou hast uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have become desolate,–To us, have they been given for food; |
|
| 13 And so ye have magnified yourselves against me, with your mouth, And have caused to abound against me, your words,–I, have heard! |
|
| 14 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,–When all the earth is rejoicing, a desolation, will I make thee: |
|
| 15 As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it had become a desolation, so, will I do unto thee,–A desolation, shalt thou become, O Mount Seir, And all Edom, all of it, So shall they know, that, I, am Yahweh. |
