1. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
2. “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it.
3. Say to it, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand over you and make you utterly desolate.
4. I will lay your cities waste. You will be devastated. So you will know that I am Adonai.
5. “Because you have a long-standing hatred and have delivered Bnei-Yisrael to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of their final punishment,
6. therefore, as I live’—it is a declaration of Adonai—‘I will destine you for blood, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
7. I will make Mount Seir an utter desolation. I will cut off from it all who come and go.
