LEB(i)
1 And the word of Yahweh ⌊came⌋* to me, ⌊saying⌋,*
2 "Son of man,* set your face against the mountain of Seir and prophesy against it,
3 and you must say to it, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "Look! I am against you, mountain of Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a wasteland.
4 Your cities I will make ruins, and you will be a desolation, and then you will know that I am Yahweh,
5 because there has been to you ⌊an ancient hostility⌋,* and you handed over the ⌊Israelites⌋* to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of ⌊their final punishment⌋.*
6 Therefore ⌊as I live⌋,"* ⌊declares⌋* the Lord Yahweh, "Certainly to blood guilt I will prepare you and blood* will pursue; ⌊since⌋* ⌊you did not hate blood⌋,* it will pursue you.
7 And I will make the mountain of Seir into a desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it both he who is crossing over and he who is returning.
8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by the sword will fall in them.
9 ⌊An everlasting desolation⌋* I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
10 I do this because of your saying,* 'The two nations and the two lands, they will be ⌊mine⌋,* and we will take possession of it,' and yet Yahweh was there.
11 Therefore, ⌊as I live⌋,"* ⌊declares⌋* the Lord Yahweh, "so I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you did,* because of your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
12 And you will know that I, Yahweh, I have heard all of your contemptible words that you said* against the mountains of Israel, ⌊saying⌋,* 'They will be desolate; they are given to us as food.'
13 And you magnified yourself against me with your ⌊insolent speech⌋,* and you spoke voluminously against me with your words—I heard!
14 Thus the Lord Yahweh says, '⌊As the whole world rejoices⌋,* I will make you a desolation.
15 ⌊Like your rejoicing over the inheritance of the house of Israel⌋* ⌊because⌋* it was desolate, I will do to you; you will be a desolation, mountain of Seir and all of Edom, indeed all of it; and they will know that I am Yahweh.'" '
