MOREOVER the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

1Moreouer the word of the Lord came vnto mee, saying;

2Sonne of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophecie against it,

3And say vnto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

4I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

5Because thou hast had a perpetuall hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamitie, in the time that their iniquitie had an end;

6Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee vnto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, euen blood shall pursue thee.

7Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out, & him that returneth.

8And I will fill his mountaines with his slaine men: in thy hilles, and in thy valleis, and in all thy riuers shall they fall that are slaine with the sword.

9I will make thee perpetuall desolations, & thy cities shall not returne, and ye shal know that I am the Lord

10Because thou hast said; These two nations, and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possesse it, whereas the Lord was there:

11Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord God, I will euen doe according to thine anger, and according to thine enuie, which thou hast vsed out of thy hatred against them: and I will make my selfe knowen amongst them, when I haue iudged thee.

13Thus with your mouth yee haue boasted against me, & haue multiplied your words against me: I haue heard them.

14Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth reioyceth, I will make thee desolate.

15As thou didst reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I doe vnto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, euen all of it, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:

2 Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.

3 Say to it: Thus says the Lord GOD: See! I am coming at you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out my hand against you and make you a desolate waste.

4 Your cities I will turn into ruins, and you shall be a waste; thus you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you never let die your hatred for the Israelites, whom you delivered over to the power of the sword at the time of their trouble, when their crimes came to an end,

6 therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, you have been guilty of blood, and blood, I swear, shall pursue you.

7 I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste, and cut off from it any traveler.

8 With the slain I will fill your hills, your valleys, and all your ravines (in them the slain shall fall by the sword):

9 desolate will I make you forever, and leave your cities without inhabitants; thus you shall know that I am the LORD.

10 Because you said: The two nations and the two lands have become mine; we shall possess them - although the LORD was there - 

11 therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will deal with you according to your anger and your envy which you have exercised (in your hatred) against them. I will make myself known among you when I judge you,

12 and you shall know that I am the LORD. I have heard all the contemptuous things you have uttered against the mountains of Israel: "They are desolate, they have been given us to devour."

13 I have heard the insolent and wild words you have spoken against me.

14 Thus says the Lord GOD: Just as you rejoiced over my land because it was desolate, so will I do to you.

15 In keeping with your glee over the devastation of the inheritance of the house of Israel, so will I treat you. A waste shall you be, Mount Seir, you and the whole of Edom. Thus they shall know that I am the LORD.

v 1-15. From the time they refused to let Israel into the promised land, Edom was a perpetual antagonist . They had tried to usurp the land promised to Israel and Judah, so God would devastate them as they had tried to do to Israel. The two nations and countries of v 7 are the northern and southern tribes, see explanation in Ezek. 37. Edom will not be restored.
