You will be<n id="1" /> an object of scorn and taunting,<n id="2" /> a prime example of destruction<n id="3" /> among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury.<n id="4" /> I, the <sc>Lord,sc> have spoken!

I will stretch out my hand against them<n id="1" /> and make the land a desolate waste from the wilderness to Riblah,<n id="2" /> in all the places where they live. Then they will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>!&#8221;p>

I will turn the land into a desolate ruin; her confident pride will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will be so desolate no one will pass through them.

Then they will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc> when I turn the land into a desolate ruin because of all the abominable deeds they have committed.&#8217;<n id="1" />p>

Say to it, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Look, I am against you, Mount Seir;p> <p class="poetry">I will stretch out my hand against youp> <p class="poetry">and turn you into a desolate ruin.p>
