Contextual Overview
1Moreover, the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2"Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir and prophesy against it 3and say to it, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,"Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,And I will stretch out My hand against youAnd make you a desolation and a desecration. 4I will lay waste your cities,And you will become a desolation.Then you will know that I am Yahweh. 5Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the punishment of the end, 6therefore as I live," declares Lord Yahweh, "I will prepare you for bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; you surely have not hated bloodshed, so bloodshed will pursue you. 7I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation, and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns. 8I will fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will fall. 9I will make you an everlasting desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will lay thy cities waste,.... Such as Dedan, Teman, Bozrah, and other cities of Idumea mentioned in Scripture; and figuratively may design all within the jurisdiction of Rome, the several cities of the antichristian states, called "the cities of the nations"; which will fall at the pouring out of the vials, Revelation 16:19:
and thou shalt be desolate; thoroughly and entirely, and remain so:
and thou shalt know that I am the Lord; that has done all this; that the hand of God was in it; and that this is a punishment inflicted by him, for their sins after mentioned; but not that they should know the Lord spiritually and savingly, and so as to yield obedience to him, and own and acknowledge him to be their God; though this may be the case of a remnant among them; see Revelation 11:13.
