1. The word of the Lord came to me. He said,
2. “Son of man, look toward Mount Seir and speak against it for me.
3. Say to it, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: “‘I am against you, Mount Seir! I will punish you and make you an empty wasteland.
4. I will destroy your cities, and you will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5. “‘Why? Because you have always been against my people. You used your sword against Israel at the time of their trouble, at the time of their final punishment.’”
