Contextual Overview
1The word of the Lord came to me: 2“Son of man, face Mount Seir and prophesy against it. 3Say to it, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 4I will turn your cities into ruins,and you will become a desolation.Then you will know that I am the Lord. 5“‘Because you maintained a perpetual hatred and gave the Israelites over to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment, 6therefore, as I live—this is the declaration of the Lord God—I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you. 7I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go. 8I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. 9I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus will I make Mount Seir most desolate,.... By shedding the blood of the inhabitants of it; and as Rome will be, when it will be utterly burnt with fire, as that city will, and the flesh of the whore also, and made desolate; and when all the vials shall be poured out on the antichristian states under her jurisdiction, Revelation 16:1:
and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth: every traveller that passeth to and fro; it shall no more be frequented by merchants; nor will there be any merchandise any more in it, Revelation 18:11.
