³and you must say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, mountain of Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a wasteland. ⁴Your cities I will make ruins, and you will be a desolation, and then you will know that I am Yahweh, ⁵because there has been to you an ancient hostility,^c and you handed over the Israelites^d to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of their final punishment.^e ⁶Therefore as I live,”^f declares^g the Lord Yahweh, “Certainly to blood guilt I will prepare you and blood^h will pursue; sinceⁱ you did not hate blood,^j it will pursue you. ⁷And I will make the mountain of Seir into a desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it both he who is crossing over and he who is returning. ⁸And I will fill its mountains with its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by the sword will fall in them. ⁹An everlasting desolation^k I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
