Then the Spirit of the Lord came on me, and He told me, “You are to say: This is what the Lord says: That is what you are thinking, house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your mind.

“you built yourself a mound and made yourself an elevated place in every square.

building your mound at the head of every street and making your elevated place in every square. But you were unlike a prostitute because you scorned payment.

“When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of other countries, worshiping wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never happen.

“Son of man, turn your face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it.

Say to it: This is what the Lord God says:

Look! I am against you, Mount Seir.
I will stretch out My hand against you
and make you a desolate waste.

I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.

Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it became a desolation, so I will deal with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and so will all Edom in its entirety. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

“This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
