35:1 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
35:2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it
35:3 and say to it, ‘This is what the Lord ①GOD says:
“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will reach out with My hand against you
And make you a desolation and a waste.
▷ ①Heb YHWH, usually rendered LORD, and so throughout the ch
35:4 I will turn your cities to ruins,
And you will become a desolation.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.
35:5 Since you have had everlasting hostility and have turned over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the ①punishment of the end,
▷ ①Or injustice
35:6 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will certainly ①doom you to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.
▷ ①Lit make bloodshed of you
35:7 I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will eliminate from it one who passes through and returns.
35:8 I will fill its mountains with its slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
35:9 I will make you a permanent desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
35:10 “Since you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess ①them,’ although the LORD was there,

35:11 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you displayed because of your hatred for them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
35:12 Then you will know ①that I, the LORD, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are desolate; they have been given to us as food.’
▷ ①Or that I am the LORD: I have heard
35:13 And you have ①spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; I Myself have heard it.”
▷ ①Lit magnified yourselves with your mouth
35:14 This is what the Lord GOD says: “As all the earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
35:15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you. You will be a desolation, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the LORD.” ’
