3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you;
aI will stretch out My hand against you,
And make you1 most desolate;
“Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you;
aI will stretch out My hand against you,
And make you1 most desolate;
5 a“Because you have had an1 ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, bwhen their iniquity came to an end,
6 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for ablood, and blood shall pursue you; bsince you have not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
7 Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it the aone who leaves and the one who returns.
8 And I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those who are slain by the sword shall fall.
9 aI will make you perpetually desolate, and your cities shall be uninhabited; bthen you shall know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will apossess them,’ although bthe Lord was there,
11 therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do aaccording to your anger and according to the envy which you showed in your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12 aThen you shall know that I am the Lord. I have bheard all your cblasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.’
13 Thus awith your mouth you have boasted against Me and multiplied your bwords against Me; I have heard them.”
