3 and 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.
4 I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

10 Because you have said, ‘These two nations and countries will be ours, and we will possess them,’ even though the LORD was there,
