⁷ And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over and him who is returning,

¹¹ Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years.

³ and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I `am' against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment.

⁶ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath -- In the days of Jael -- The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go `in' crooked ways.

⁷ Villages ceased in Israel -- they ceased, Till that I arose -- Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.

⁵ and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles `are' on all the inhabitants of the lands,

⁶ and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;

²⁸ And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.

⁹ Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not return, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.
