The word of the Lord came to me. He said, |
2
|
"Son of man, look toward Mount Seir, and speak against it for me. |
3
|
Say to it, 'This is what the Lord God says: "'I am against you, Mount Seir! I will punish you and make you an empty wasteland. |
4
|
I will destroy your cities, and you will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord. |
5
|
Why? Because you have always been against my people. You used your sword against Israel at the time of their trouble, at the time of their final punishment.'" |
6
|
So the Lord God says, "I promise by my own life that I will let death have you. Death will chase you. You did not hate killing people, so death will chase you. |
7
|
I will make Mount Seir an empty ruin. I will kill everyone who enters or leaves that city. |
8
|
I will cover its mountains with those who are killed. There will be dead bodies all over your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. |
9
|
I will make you empty forever. No one will live in your cities. Then you will know that I am the Lord." |
10
|
You said, "These two nations and countries, Israel and Judah, will be mine. We will take them for our own." But the Lord is there! |
11
|
And the Lord God says, "You were jealous of my people. You were angry and hateful to them. So by my life, I swear that I will punish you the same way you hurt them! I will punish you and let my people know that I am with them. |
12
|
And then you, too, will know that I have heard all your insults. You said many bad things against the mountain of Israel. You said, 'Israel has been destroyed! We will chew them up like food!' |
13
|
And you were proud and said things against me. You spoke too many times and I have heard every word you said. Yes, I heard you." |
14
|
This is what the Lord God says: "All the earth will be happy when I destroy you. |
15
|
You were happy when the country of Israel was destroyed. I will treat you the same way. Mount Seir and the whole country of Edom will be destroyed. Then you will know that I am the Lord." |
