⁷ Thus will I make Mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him who passes through and him who returns.

¹¹ No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of animal shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.

³ and tell it, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and an astonishment.

⁶ In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, The travelers walked through byways.

⁷ The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.

⁵ In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the lands.

⁶ They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did vex them with all adversity.

²⁸ I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.

⁹ I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall not be inhabited; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
