1. A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2. "Son of man, turn your attention to Mount Seir. Prophesy against it.
3. Tell it, 'The Lord and King says, "Mount Seir, I am against you. I will reach out my powerful hand against you. I will turn you into a dry and empty desert.
4. I will destroy your towns. Your land will become empty. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5. " ' "People of Edom, you have been Israel's enemies for a long time. You let many Israelites be killed with swords when they were in great trouble. At that time I used Nebuchadnezzar to punish them and destroy them completely.
