1 Veio a mim a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: 2 Filho do homem, volve o rosto contra o monte Seir e profetiza contra ele. 3 Dize-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que eu estou contra ti, ó monte Seir, e estenderei a mão contra ti, e te farei desolação e espanto. 4 Farei desertas as tuas cidades, e tu serás desolado; e saberás que eu sou o Senhor. 5 Pois guardaste inimizade perpétua e abandonaste os filhos de Israel à violência da espada, no tempo da calamidade e do castigo final. 6 Por isso, diz o Senhor Deus, tão certo como eu vivo, eu te fiz sangrar, e sangue te perseguirá; visto que não aborreceste o sangue, o sangue te perseguirá. 7 Farei do monte Seir extrema desolação e eliminarei dele o que por ele passa e o que por ele volta. 8 Encherei os seus montes dos seus traspassados; nos teus outeiros, nos teus vales e em todas as tuas correntes, cairão os traspassados à espada. 9 Em perpétuas desolações, te porei, e as tuas cidades jamais serão habitadas; assim sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.

10 Visto que dizes: Os dois povos e as duas terras serão meus, e os possuirei, ainda que o Senhor se achava ali, 11 por isso, tão certo como eu vivo, diz o Senhor Deus, procederei segundo a tua ira e segundo a tua inveja, com que, no teu ódio, os trataste; e serei conhecido deles, quando te julgar. 12 Saberás que eu, o Senhor, ouvi todas as blasfêmias que proferiste contra os montes de Israel, dizendo: Já estão desolados, a nós nos são entregues por pasto. 13 Vós vos engrandecestes contra mim com a vossa boca e multiplicastes as vossas palavras contra mim; eu o ouvi. 14 Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ao alegrar-se toda a terra, eu te reduzirei à desolação. 15 Como te alegraste com a sorte da casa de Israel, porque foi desolada, assim também farei a ti; desolado serás, ó monte Seir e todo o Edom, sim, todo; e saberão que eu sou o Senhor.

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

3 And say to it, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you most desolate.

4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

5 Because you have had a perpetual hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

6 Therefore, as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will prepare you to blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passes out and him that returns.

8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

9 I will make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

11 Therefore, as I live, said the Lord GOD, I will even do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged you.

12 And you shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

13 Thus with your mouth you have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

14 Thus said the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.

15 As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
