“Say to it!
Thus says Yahweh God!
‘I am against you!
Mount Seir!
I will stretch out
My hand
Against you.
I will make you
a desolation.
I will make you
A waste.
I will lay
Your towns
In ruins.
You shall become
A desolation.
You shall know
That I am Yahweh.’”
Yahweh told Ezekiel to be against Mount Seir, that is Edom. Yahweh was going to stretch out his hand against Mount Seir. He was going to make it a desolation and a waste, leaving its towns in ruins. Finally, they too would know that Yahweh was God.
