3 and you shall say to it, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, O Mount Sĕ‛ir, I am against you, and shall stretch out My hand against you, and shall make you a ruin and a waste.
4 “Your cities I destroy, and let you be a ruin. And you shall know that I am יהוה.
5 “Because you have had a continuous enmity, and handed the children of Yisra’ĕl over to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the crookedness of the end.
6 “Therefore, as I live,” declares the Master יהוה, “I shall appoint you for blood, and let blood pursue you. Since you did not hate blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
7 “And I shall make Mount Sĕ‛ir a ruin and a waste, and cut off from it the one who leaves and the one who returns,
8 and shall fill its mountains with the slain, those slain by the sword falling on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 “I shall make you an everlasting ruin, and your cities uninhabited. And you shall know that I am יהוה.
