1. “Son of man, prophesy to Israel’s mountains. Give them this message: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the lord!
2. This is what the Sovereign lord says: Your enemies have taunted you, saying, ‘Aha! Now the ancient heights belong to us!’
3. Therefore, son of man, give the mountains of Israel this message from the Sovereign lord: Your enemies have attacked you from all directions, making you the property of many nations and the object of much mocking and slander.
4. Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign lord. He speaks to the hills and mountains, ravines and valleys, and to ruined wastes and long-deserted cities that have been destroyed and mocked by the surrounding nations.
5. This is what the Sovereign lord says: My jealous anger burns against these nations, especially Edom, because they have shown utter contempt for me by gleefully taking my land for themselves as plunder.
