35:1  The Lord’s word came to me:
35:2  Human one, face Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
35:3  Say to it, The Lord God proclaims: I’m against you, Mount Seir! I will use my power against you. I will make you into a desolate wasteland,
35:4  I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
35:5  Because you nursed an ancient grudge, you handed the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their distress, during their final punishment.
35:6  So now the Lord God proclaims: As surely as I live, I will prepare you for blood, and blood will pursue you. Because you don’t hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you.
35:7  I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate wasteland, when I cut off from it both passerby and homecomer.
35:8  I will fill its highlands—your hills and your valleys, and all your ravines—with its slain. Those who are slain by the sword will fall on them.
35:9  I will turn you into an eternal desolation. Your cities won’t be inhabited, and you will know that I am the Lord.
35:10  You said, “These two nations and these two territories are mine. We will take possession of them even if the Lord is there.”
35:11  Therefore, the Lord God proclaims: As surely as I live, I will act according to the anger and zeal you displayed when you dealt with them so hatefully. When I judge you, I will make myself known to them,
35:12  and you will know that I am the Lord. I’ve heard the lies and libels that you uttered against Israel’s highlands when you said, “They are laid waste. They’ve been given to us to consume.”
35:13  With your mouths you exalted yourselves against me and spoke your words against me. I myself heard it!
35:14  The Lord God proclaims: As the whole world rejoices, I will turn you into a desolation.
35:15  Just as you rejoiced over the house of Israel’s inheritance because it became desolate, so I will deal with you. Mount Seir, you will become a desolation, with all of Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
