35:2 “Human being, turn your face against Mount Se‘ir; prophesy against it,
35:3 and say that Adonai Elohim says, ‘I am against you, Mount Se‘ir. I will stretch out my hand against you and make you utterly desolate.
35:4 I will make your cities ruins and make you an utter waste, and you will know that I am Adonai.
35:5 Because of your long-standing hatred, you put the people of Isra’el to the sword at their time of calamity, at the time of final iniquity.
35:6 Therefore, as I live,’ Adonai Elohim swears, ‘I will prepare you for blood. Blood will pursue you. You intensely hate your own blood [relatives]; therefore blood will pursue you.
35:7 Yes, I will make Mount Se‘ir utterly desolate, cutting off from it anyone passing through or returning.
35:8 I will fill his mountains with his slain; in your hills and valleys and in all your ravines will fall those slain by the sword.
35:9 I will turn you into perpetual ruins; your cities will not return; and you will know that I am Adonai.
35:10 “‘Because you say, “These two nations, these two countries, will be mine; we will take possession of them,” even though Adonai is there;
35:11 therefore, as I live,’ swears Adonai Elohim, ‘I will deal with you as your anger and envy arising from your hatred deserve; and I will make myself known among them when I judge you.
35:12 You will know that I, Adonai, have heard all your blasphemous talk against the mountains of Isra’el, such as, “They are desolated, they are given to us to devour.”
35:13 Moreover, you have boasted against me with your mouths, speaking more and more against me — I have heard it.’
35:14 Here is what Adonai Elohim says: ‘To the joy of all the land, I will desolate you.
35:15 Since you rejoiced over possessing the house of Isra’el, because it was desolate, that is what I will do to you — you will be desolate, Mount Se‘ir and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am Adonai.’
