3 Say to it: Thus says the Lord God: Watch out! I am against you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out my hand against you and turn you into a desolate waste.
4 Your cities I will turn into ruins, and you shall be a desolation; then you shall know that I am the Lord.
5 Because you nursed a long-standing hatred and handed the Israelites over to the sword at the time of their collapse, at the time of their final punishment,
6 therefore, as I live—oracle of the Lord God—you are guilty of blood, and blood, I swear, shall pursue you.
7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and cut off from it anyone who travels across it and back.
8 I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword shall fall on your hills, into your valleys and all your ravines.
9 I will make you a desolation forever,your cities will not be inhabited,and you shall know that I am the Lord.
