1 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Son of man set thy face against mount Seir, and thou shalt Prophesy of it, and shalt say to it:
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy concerning it, and say to it:
3 Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I to thee mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, & will make thee desolate and desert.
3 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against thee, mount Seir, and I will stretch forth my hand upon thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.
4 Thy cities I will destroy, & thou shalt be desert: & thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
4 I will destroy thy cities, and thou shalt be desolate: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5 For that thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel into the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
5 Because thou hast been an everlasting enemy, and hast shut up the children of Israel in the hands of the sword in the time of their affliction, in the time of their last iniquity.
6 Therefore live I, saith our Lord God, that I will deliver thee unto blood, & blood shall persecute thee: & whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall persecute thee.
6 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will deliver thee up to blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and whereas thou hast hated blood, blood shall pursue thee.
7 And I will make mount Seir desolate & desert: & I will take from it the comer & goer.
7 And I will make mount Seir waste and desolate: and I will take away from it him that goeth and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, & in the torrents shall the slain with the sword fall.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his men that are slain: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in thy torrents they shall fall that are slain with the sword.
9 Into everlasting desolations will I deliver thee, & thy cities shall not be inhabited: & thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.
9 I will make thee everlasting desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord God.
10 For that thou hast said: The two nations, & the two lands shall be mine, & I will possess them by inheritance: whereas our Lord was there.
10 Because thou hast said: The two nations, and the two lands shall be mine, and I will possess them by inheritance: whereas the Lord was there.
11 Therefore live I, saith our Lord God, that I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy zeal, which thou hast used hating them: & I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee.
11 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God, I will do according to thy wrath, and according to thy envy, which thou hast exercised in hatred to them: and I will be made known by them, when I shall have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken of the mountains of Israel, saying: They are desert, they are given unto us to devour.
12 And thou shalt know that I the Lord have heard all thy reproaches, that thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying. They are desolate, they are given to us to consume.
13 And you rose up upon me with your mouth, and have derogated your words against me: I heard it.
13 And you rose up against me with your mouth, and have derogated from me by your words: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith our Lord God: All the earth rejoicing, I will bring thee into a wilderness.
14 Thus saith the Lord God: When the whole earth shall rejoice, I will make thee a wilderness.
15 As thou hast rejoiced upon the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was dissipated, so will I do to thee: Thou shalt be dissipated mount Seir, & all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
15 As thou hast rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was laid waste, so will I do to thee: thou shalt be laid waste, O mount Seir, and all Idumea: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
