35:1  The word of the Lord came to me. He said,
35:2  “Son of man, look toward Mount Seir and speak against it for me.
35:3  Say to it, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “‘I am against you, Mount Seir! I will punish you and make you an empty wasteland.
35:4  I will destroy your cities, and you will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
35:5  “‘Why? Because you have always been against my people. You used your sword against Israel at the time of their trouble, at the time of their final punishment.’”
35:6  So the Lord God says, “But I promise by my own life that I will let death have you. Death will chase you. You did not hate killing people, so death will chase you.
35:7  I will make Mount Seir an empty ruin. I will kill everyone who enters or leaves that city.
35:8  I will cover its mountains with those who are killed. There will be dead bodies all over your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
35:9  I will make you empty forever. No one will live in your cities. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
35:10  You said, “These two nations and countries, Israel and Judah, will be mine. We will take them for our own.” But the Lord is there!
35:11  And the Lord God says, “You were jealous of my people. You were angry and hateful to them. So by my life, I swear that I will punish you the same way you hurt them! I will punish you and let my people know that I am with them.
35:12  And then you, too, will know that I am the Lord. “I have heard you making fun of Israel’s hill country. You said, ‘It is in ruins, just waiting for us to swallow it up.’
35:13  Your proud boasting is really against me. Time after time you have insulted me, and I have heard every word.”
35:14  This is what the Lord God says: “All the earth will be happy when I destroy you.
35:15  You were happy when the country of Israel was destroyed. I will treat you the same way. Mount Seir and the whole country of Edom will be destroyed. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
