1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, turn toward Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
3 Say to it, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘Look, I am against you, Mount Seir;I will stretch out my hand against youand turn you into a desolate ruin.
4 I will lay waste your cities;and you will become desolate.Then you will know that I am the Lord!
5 “‘You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment.
6 Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, I will subject you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
7 I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin; I will cut off from it the one who passes through or returns.
