and Edom will be a desolate wilderness,
because of the violence they did to the people of Judah,

those who had conquered them.

The descendants of Esau will be like stubble.
They will burn them up and devour them.

Your hands must not be paralyzed from panic!

He takes great delight in you;
he renews you by his love;
he shouts for joy over you.”

he is legitimate
humble and riding on a donkey
on a young donkey, the foal of a female donkey.
