1. Again a message came to me from the lord:
2. “Son of man, turn and face Mount Seir, and prophesy against its people.
3. Give them this message from the Sovereign lord:“I am your enemy, O Mount Seir,and I will raise my fist against youto destroy you completely.
4. I will demolish your citiesand make you desolate.Then you will know that I am the lord.
5. “Your eternal hatred for the people of Israel led you to butcher them when they were helpless, when I had already punished them for all their sins.
6. As surely as I live, says the Sovereign lord, since you show no distaste for blood, I will give you a bloodbath of your own. Your turn has come!
