1 The Lord spoke to me.
2 “Mortal man,” he said, “denounce the country of Edom.
3 Tell the people what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying:“I am your enemy, mountains of Edom!I will make you a desolate wasteland.
4 I will leave your cities in ruinsAnd your land desolate;Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5 “You were Israel's constant enemy and let her people be slaughtered in the time of her disaster, the time of final punishment for her sins.
6 So then—as surely as I, the Sovereign Lord, am the living God—death is your fate, and you cannot escape it. You are guilty of murder, and murder will follow you.
7 I will make the hill country of Edom a wasteland and kill everyone who travels through it.
