“I will make
Mount Seir
A waste.
I will make it
A desolation.
I will cut off
From it
All who come,
All who go.
I will fill
Its mountains
With the slain.
On your hills,
In your valleys,
In all your water streams,
Those killed
With the sword
Shall fall.
I will make you
A perpetual desolation.
Your cities
Shall never be inhabited.
Then you will know
That I am Yahweh.”
Yahweh, via Ezekiel, said that he was going to make Mount Seir a wasteland and a desolation. He was going to cut it off from all other countries, so that no one would be able to come or go into it. He was going to fill its mountains with all their fallen dead bodies, whether in the hills, in the valleys, or in the water streams. Mount Seir was going to become a perpetual desolation. Its cities would never be inhabited again. However, they would finally know that Yahweh was God.
