God Judges Edom

¹ The Word of the Lord came to me saying, ² "Son of man, look toward Mount Seir and speak against it, ³ saying, ‘The Lord God says, "I am against you, Mount Seir. I will put out My hand against you and make you a waste land. ⁴ I will destroy your cities, and you will become a waste. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ⁵ You have always hated the people of Israel and have given them over to be killed at the time of their trouble, at the time of the punishment of the end. ⁶ So as I live," says the Lord God, "I will give you over to death, and you will not get away from death. Since you have not hated killing, death will come after you. ⁷ I will destroy Mount Seir and make it a waste. And I will kill all who travel through it. ⁸ I will fill its mountains with its dead. Those killed by the sword will fall on your hills and in your valleys. ⁹ I will destroy you forever, and no one will live in your cities. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

¹⁰ "You have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will own them,' even when the Lord was there. ¹¹ So as I live," says the Lord God, "I will punish you for your anger and the jealousy you showed because of your hate toward them. And I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. ¹² Then you will know that I, the Lord, have heard all the bad things you have said against the mountains of Israel. You have said, ‘They are destroyed. They are given to us for food.' ¹³ You have spoken in pride against Me, with many words and I have heard you." ¹⁴ The Lord God says, "While the whole earth is filled with joy, I will destroy you. ¹⁵ As you had joy because the land of Israel was destroyed, so I will do to you. You will be destroyed, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord."'
