4 I will turn your cities into ruins,and you will become a wasteland.Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5 “‘You have always been an enemy of Israel.You deserted the people of Israel in battlewhen they were in trouble during their final punishment.
6 That is why, as I live, declares the Almighty Lord,I will let you be murdered.Murderers will pursue you.Since you don’t hate murdering people, murder will pursue you.
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a barren wasteland,and I will destroy everyone who comes or goes from there.
8 I will fill your mountains with those who have been killed.Those killed in battle will fall on your hillsand in your valleys and ravines.
9 I will turn you into a permanent wasteland.Your cities will not be lived in.Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “‘You said, “These two nations, Israel and Judah, along with their land, belong to us. We will take possession of them.” But the Lord was there.
