1Moreover the Lord’s word came to me, saying, 2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3and tell it, ‘The Lord God says: “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you. I will make you a desolation and an astonishment. 4I will lay your cities waste, and you will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5“‘“Because you have had a perpetual hostility, and have given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end, 6therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, therefore blood will pursue you. 7Thus I will make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation. I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns. 8I will fill its mountains with its slain. The slain with the sword will fall in your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses. 9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10“‘“Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two countries will be mine, and we will possess it,’ although the Lord was there, 11therefore, as I live,” says the Lord God, “I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have shown out of your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you. 12You will know that I, the Lord, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They have been laid desolate. They have been given to us to devour.’ 13You have magnified yourselves against Me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against Me. I have heard it.” 14The Lord God says: “When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”
1Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens: 2Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir, et prophetabis de eo, et dices illi: 3Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, mons Seir: et extendam manum meam super te, et dabo te desolatum atque desertum. 4Urbes tuas demoliar, et tu desertus eris: et scies quia ego Dominus. 5Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus, et concluseris filios Israël in manus gladii in tempore afflictionis eorum, in tempore iniquitatis extremæ: 6propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quoniam sanguini tradam te, et sanguis te persequetur: et cum sanguinem oderis, sanguis persequetur te. 7Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum, et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem. 8Et implebo montes ejus occisorum suorum: in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus, interfecti gladio cadent. 9In solitudines sempiternas tradam te, et civitates tuæ non habitabuntur: et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus. 10Eo quod dixeris: Duæ gentes et duæ terræ meæ erunt, et hæreditate possidebo eas, cum Dominus esset ibi: 11propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, quia faciam juxta iram tuam, et secundum zelum tuum, quem fecisti odio habens eos: et notus efficiar per eos, cum te judicavero. 12Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua quæ locutus es de montibus Israël, dicens: Deserti; nobis ad devorandum dati sunt. 13Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro, et derogastis adversum me verba vestra: ego audivi. 14Hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Lætante universa terra, in solitudinem te redigam: 15sicuti gavisus es super hæreditatem domus Israël eo quod fuerit dissipata, sic faciam tibi: dissipatus eris, mons Seir, et Idumæa omnis: et scient quia ego Dominus.
