# General Information: This continues the message that Ezekiel is to speak to Mount Seir. The message is for all the people of Edom. # The Lord Yahweh says this This can be stated in first person. Alternate translation: "This is what I, the Lord Yahweh, say" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]]) # I will make you a desolation Here "you" refers to Mount Seir, but the message is for the people of Edom. The abstract noun "desolation" can be stated as an adjective. Alternate translation: "Because of what your people did I will make you desolate" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]]) # the entire earth rejoices Here "earth" represents the people of the earth. The word "entire" is a generalization that refers only to people near Mount Seir. Alternate translation: "people who know that I have destroyed you rejoice" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
