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,[ † ]Ezekiel 25:12Psalms 137:7Daniel 9:24Amos 1:11Obadiah 10 6therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord God, I will give you over to bloodshed and it will pursue you.

7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.[ † ]Judges 5:6 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. 9I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited.
