A Prophecy Against Edom

¹² “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because Edom^(A) took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so, ¹³ therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand^(B) against Edom and kill both man and beast.^(C) I will lay it waste, and from Teman^(D) to Dedan^(E) they will fall by the sword.^{(F) 14} I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger^(G) and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”^(H)

¹⁰ “‘Because you have said, “These two nations and countries will be ours and we will take possession^(A) of them,” even though I the Lord was there,

¹⁵ Because you rejoiced^(A) when the inheritance of Israel became desolate, that is how I will treat you. You will be desolate, Mount Seir,^(B) you and all of Edom.^(C) Then they will know that I am the Lord.’”

²² I will execute judgment^(A) on him with plague and bloodshed;^(B) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones^(C) and burning sulfur^(D) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.^(E)
