¹ Moreouer the worde of the Lorde came vnto me, saying,² Sonne of man, Set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesie against it,³ And say vnto it, Thus sayth the Lord God, Behold, O mount Seir, I come against thee, and I wil stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.⁴ I wil lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, & thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord.⁵ Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred and hast put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, when their iniquitie had an ende,⁶ Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lorde God, I wil prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shal pursue thee: except thou hate blood, euen blood shal pursue thee.⁷ Thus will I make mount Seir desolate and waste, and cut off from it him that passeth out & him that returneth.⁸ And I will fill his mountaines with his slayne men: in thine hilles, and in thy valleys and in all thy riuers shal they fall, that are slayne with the sworde.⁹ I wil make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not returne, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.

¹⁰ Because thou hast said, These two nations, and these two countreys shalbe mine, and we wil possesse them (seeing the Lord was there)¹¹ Therefore as I liue, sayth the Lorde God, I wil euen do according to thy wrath, and according to thine indignation which thou hast vsed in thine hatred against them: & I wil make my selfe knowen among them whe I haue iudged thee.¹² And thou shalt know, that I the Lord haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountaines of Israel, saying, They lye waste, they are giuen vs to be deuoured.¹³ Thus with your mouthes ye haue boasted against me, & haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them.¹⁴ Thus sayth the Lorde God, So shall all the world reioyce when I shal make thee desolate.¹⁵ As thou diddest reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea wholly, & they shall know, that I am the Lord.
