The .xxxv. Chapter. The destruccyon that shal come on the hyl Seyr, that is, on the Idumeans, because they troubled the people of the Lorde.

A   Moreouer, the worde of the lorde came vnto me, sayinge: Thou sonne of man, turne thy face towarde the mounte Seir, prophecye vpon it, ∧ say vnto it: Thus sayeth the Lord God) Beholde (O thou mo&ubar;t Seir) I wil vpon the, I wyl reache out myne hande ouer the, yea waste and desolate will I make the. Thy cytyes wyll I breake doune: and thou shalte lye voyde, that thou mayest knowe, how that I am the Lord. For so much as thou beareste an olde enemyte agaynst the chyldren of Israel, and with a cruell hande haste made them afrayed, what tyme as they were troubled and punyshed for theyr synne: B    Therfore note as truelye as I lyue, sayeth the Lord GOD, I wyl prepare the vnto bloud, yea bloude shall folowe vpon the: seyng thou layest wayte for bloude, therfore shal bloude persecute the. Thus wyll I make the mounte Seir desolate and waste, and brynge to passe,

Israel. that there shal no man goo thyther, ner com from thence. Hys mountaynes wyll I fyll wyth hys slayne men: thy hylles, dales and valleys shall lye full of them, that are slayne with the swearde. I wyll make the a perpetuall wyldernesse, so that no man shall dwell in thy cyties: that ye maye knowe, how that I am the Lorde.

Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: As trulye as I lyue, I wyll handle the accordynge to thy wrath and gelousy, lyke as thou hast dealt cruellye with them: þt; I maye be knowen amonge th&ebar;, how I haue punished the. Yee and that thou also mayest be sure, that I þe; Lord haue hearde all thy despytefull wordes, whiche thou hast spok&ebar; agaynst the mountaynes of Israel, sayinge: Lo, D   they are made waste, ∧ geuen vs to deuoure. Thus wyth youre mouthes ye haue mayde youre boost agaynst me, yee ∧ multyplyed youre proude wordes agaynst me, which I haue hearde altogether. noteWher vnto thus sayeth the Lorde God: when the whole worlde is in wealth, then wyll I make the waste. And like as thou (O mo&ubar;t Seyr) wast glad, because þe; heretage of þe; house of Israell was destroyed: euen so wyll I do vnto þe; also that thou ∧ whole Edom shall be destroyed, and knowe, that I am the Lorde.
