Context
Prophecy Against Mount Seir
35:1 The word of the Lord came to me:
35:2 “Son of man , turn toward Mount Seir , and prophesy against it.
35:3 Say to it, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : “‘Look , I am against you, Mount Seir ; I will stretch out my hand against you and turn you into a desolate ruin .
35:4 I will lay waste your cities ; and you will become desolate . Then you will know that I am the Lord !
35:5 “‘You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword at the time of their calamity , at the time of their final punishment .
35:6 Therefore , as surely as I live , declares the sovereign Lord , I will subject you to bloodshed , and bloodshed will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed , bloodshed will pursue you.
35:7 I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin ; I will cut off from it the one who passes through or returns .
35:8 I will fill its mountains with its dead ; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines , those killed by the sword will fall .
35:9 I will turn you into a perpetual desolation , and your cities will not be inhabited . Then you will know that I am the Lord .
35:10 “‘You said , “These two nations , these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,”– although the Lord was there –
35:11 therefore , as surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord , I will deal with you according to your anger , and according to your envy , by which you acted spitefully against them. I will reveal myself to them when I judge you.
35:12 Then you will know that I , the Lord , have heard all the insults you spoke against the mountains of Israel , saying , “They are desolate , they have been given to us for food .”
35:13 You exalted yourselves against me with your speech and hurled many insults against me– I have heard them all!
35:14 This is what the sovereign Lord says : While the whole earth rejoices , I will turn you into a desolation .
35:15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate , so will I deal with you– you will be desolate , Mount Seir , and all of Edom – all of it! Then they will know that I am the Lord .’”
