“And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.”
Because you cherished perpetual enmity, and gave the Israelites over to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of their final punishment, identifying Edom's crime as perpetual hatred of Israel and active collaboration in Israel's defeat (possibly referring to Edom's behavior during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem in 586 BCE). The phrase 'final punishment' suggests that Edom aided Israel during her ultimate catastrophe.
