1 The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
2 “Human being, look toward Mount Edom and prophesy against it.
3 Say to it: ‘This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Mount Edom. I will stretch out my hand against you. And I will make you an empty desert.
4 I will destroy your cities. And you will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5 “‘This is because you have always been an enemy of Israel. You let them be defeated in war when they were in trouble. It was the time of their final punishment.
6 So the Lord God says, As surely as I live, I will let you be murdered. Murder will chase you. You did not hate murdering people, so murder will chase you.
7 And I will make Mount Edom an empty ruin. And I will destroy everyone who goes in or comes out of it.
