31AND YOU [ARE] FLOCK MY [THE] FLOCK OF PASTURE MY HUMAN[S] YOU I [AM] GOD YOUR [THE] UTTERANCE OF [THE] LORD YAHWEH 31‘You are My flock, the sheep of My pasture, My people, and I am your God,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
1AND IT CAME [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH TO ME <TO> SAYING A Prophecy against Mount Seir 1Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2O SON OF HUMANKIND SET FACE YOUR ON [THE] MOUNTAIN OF SEIR AND PROPHESY ON IT 2“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it,
3AND YOU WILL SAY TO IT THUS HE SAYS [THE] LORD YAHWEH HERE I [AM] AGAINST YOU O MOUNTAIN OF SEIR AND I WILL STRETCH OUT HAND MY ON YOU AND I WILL MAKE YOU A DESOLATION AND A WASTE 3and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
4CITIES YOUR A RUIN I WILL MAKE AND YOU A DESOLATION YOU WILL BE AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT I [AM] YAHWEH 4I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5BECAUSE BELONGED TO YOU ENMITY OF ANTIQUITY AND YOU POURED <OBJ.> [THE] PEOPLE OF ISRAEL OVER [THE] HANDS OF [THE] SWORD AT [THE] TIME OF DISASTER THEIR AT A TIME OF PUNISHMENT OF [THE] END 5Because you harbored an ancient hatred and delivered the Israelites over to the sword in the time of their disaster at the final stage of their punishment,
6<TO> THEREFORE [BY] [THE] LIFE OF ME [THE] UTTERANCE OF [THE] LORD YAHWEH THAT TO BLOOD I WILL APPOINT YOU AND BLOOD IT WILL PURSUE YOU IF NOT BLOOD YOU HAVE HATED AND BLOOD IT WILL PURSUE YOU 6therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
7AND I WILL MAKE <OBJ.> [THE] MOUNTAIN OF SEIR INTO A DESOLATION AND A DESOLATION AND I WILL CUT OFF FROM IT [ONE WHO] PASSES THROUGH AND [ONE WHO] RETURNS 7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
8AND I WILL FILL <OBJ.> MOUNTAINS ITS SLAIN [ONES] ITS HILLS YOUR AND VALLEYS YOUR AND ALL RAVINES YOUR [THOSE] SLAIN OF A SWORD THEY WILL FALL IN THEM 8I will fill its mountains with the slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
9DESOLATIONS OF PERPETUITY I WILL MAKE YOU AND CITIES YOUR NOT THEY WILL RETURN AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT I [AM] YAHWEH 9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10BECAUSE SAYING YOU <OBJ.> [THE] TWO THE NATIONS AND <OBJ.> [THE] TWO THE LANDS TO ME THEY WILL BELONG AND WE WILL TAKE POSSESSION OF IT AND YAHWEH THERE HE WAS 10Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,
11<TO> THEREFORE [BY] [THE] LIFE OF ME [THE] UTTERANCE OF [THE] LORD YAHWEH AND I WILL ACT ACCORDING TO ANGER YOUR AND ACCORDING TO JEALOUSY YOUR WHICH YOU DID FROM HATRED<S> YOUR WITH THEM AND I WILL MAKE MYSELF KNOWN AMONG THEM <JUST> WHEN I WILL JUDGE YOU 11therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT I YAHWEH I HAVE HEARD <OBJ.> ALL INSULTS YOUR WHICH YOU HAVE SAID ON [THE] MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL <TO> SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN DESOLATED TO US THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN FOR DEVOURING 12Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard every contemptuous word you uttered against the mountains of Israel when you said, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us to devour!’
13AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOURSELVES ON ME WITH MOUTH YOUR AND YOU HAVE MULTIPLIED ON ME WORDS YOUR I I HAVE HEARD 13You boasted against Me with your mouth and multiplied your words against Me. I heard it Myself!
14THUS HE SAYS [THE] LORD YAHWEH WHEN REJOICES ALL THE EARTH DESOLATION I WILL MAKE FOR YOU 14This is what the Lord GOD says: While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate.
15ACCORDING TO REJOICING YOUR TO [THE] INHERITANCE OF [THE] HOUSE OF ISRAEL ON THAT IT HAD BEEN DESOLATED SO I WILL DO TO YOU A DESOLATION YOU WILL BE O MOUNTAIN OF SEIR AND ALL EDOM ALL OF IT AND THEY WILL KNOW THAT I [AM] YAHWEH 15As you rejoiced when the inheritance of the house of Israel became desolate, so will I do to you. You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and so will all of Edom. Then they will know that I am the LORD. [’’]
