1. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2. Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against him,
3. and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee waste and solitary.
4. I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5. Because thou hast had perpetual enmities and hast scattered the sons of Israel to the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the extremely evil time:
6. therefore, as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: and if thou dost not hate blood, blood shall pursue thee.
7. And I will make Mount Seir waste and solitary and cut off from him, he that passes out and him that returns.
