1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me, dicens:

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

2 Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam adversum montem Seir, et prophetabis de eo, et dices illi:

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

3 ¶ Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Ecce ego ad te, mons Seir:
et extendam manum meam super te,
et dabo te desolatum atque desertum.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

4 Urbes tuas demoliar,
et tu desertus eris:
et scies quia ego Dominus.

5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast 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:

5 Eo quod fueris inimicus sempiternus,
et concluseris filios Israël in manus gladii
in tempore afflictionis eorum,
in tempore iniquitatis extremæ:

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

6 propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus,
quoniam sanguini tradam te,
et sanguis te persequetur:
et cum sanguinem oderis,
sanguis persequetur te.

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

7 Et dabo montem Seir desolatum atque desertum,
et auferam de eo euntem et redeuntem.

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

8 Et implebo montes ejus occisorum suorum:
in collibus tuis, et in vallibus tuis atque in torrentibus,
interfecti gladio cadent.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

9 In solitudines sempiternas tradam te,
et civitates tuæ non habitabuntur:
et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:

10 Eo quod dixeris: Duæ gentes et duæ terræ meæ erunt,
et hæreditate possidebo eas,
cum Dominus esset ibi:

11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

11 propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus,
quia faciam juxta iram tuam, et secundum zelum tuum,
quem fecisti odio habens eos:
et notus efficiar per eos, cum te judicavero.

12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

12 Et scies quia ego Dominus audivi universa opprobria tua
quæ locutus es de montibus Israël, dicens:
Deserti nobis ad devorandum dati sunt.

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

13 Et insurrexistis super me ore vestro,
et derogastis adversum me verba vestra:
ego audivi.

14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

14 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus:
Lætante universa terra,
in solitudinem te redigam:

15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

15 sicuti gavisus es super hæreditatem domus Israël
eo quod fuerit dissipata,
sic faciam tibi:
dissipatus eris, mons Seir, et Idumæa omnis:
et scient quia ego Dominus.
