¹⁸ As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord, no one shall live there, nor shall anyone settle in it.^(A)

³ and say to it: Thus says the Lord God:

⁵ Because you cherished an ancient enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment,^{(A) 6} therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will make you bloody, and blood shall pursue you; since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed will pursue you. ⁷ I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it all who come and go.^{(B) 8} I will fill its mountains with the slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your watercourses those killed with the sword shall fall.^{(C) 9} I will make you a perpetual desolation, and your cities shall never be inhabited. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.^(D)
