^{2 Ref} Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

^{3 Ref} and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment.

^{4 Ref} I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.

^{5 Ref} Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast 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;

^{6 Ref} therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee.

^{7 Ref} Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth.
