34:1 Come near, you nations, and listen!
Pay attention, you people!
The earth and everything it contains must listen,
the world and everything that lives in it.
34:2 For the Lord is angry at all the nations
and furious with all their armies.
He will annihilate them and slaughter them.
34:3 Their slain will be left unburied,
their corpses will stink;
the hills will soak up their blood.
34:4 All the stars in the sky will fade away,
the sky will roll up like a scroll;
all its stars will wither,
like a leaf withers and falls from a vine
or a fig withers and falls from a tree.
34:5 He says,
Look, it now descends on Edom,
on the people I will annihilate in judgment.”
34:6 The Lord’s sword is dripping with blood,
it is covered
it drips
and is covered
For the Lord is holding a sacrifice
a bloody
34:7 Wild oxen will be slaughtered
as well as strong bulls.
Their land is drenched with blood,
their soil is covered with fat.
34:8 For the Lord has planned a day of revenge,
a time when he will repay Edom for her hostility toward Zion.
34:9 Edom’s
and her soil into brimstone;
her land will become burning pitch.
34:10 Night and day it will burn;
its smoke will ascend continually.
Generation after generation it will be a wasteland
and no one will ever pass through it again.
34:11 Owls and wild animals
all kinds of wild birds
The Lord
the measuring line of ruin
and the plumb line
34:12 Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom
and all her officials will disappear.
34:13 Her fortresses will be overgrown with thorns;
thickets and weeds will grow
Jackals will settle there;
ostriches will live there.
34:14 Wild animals and wild dogs will congregate there;
wild goats will bleat to one another.
Yes, nocturnal animals
and make for themselves a nest.
34:15 Owls
they will hatch them and protect them.
Yes, hawks
each with its mate.
34:16 Carefully read the scroll of the Lord!
Not one of these creatures will be missing,
none will lack a mate.
For the Lord has issued the decree,
and his own spirit gathers them.
34:17 He assigns them their allotment;
he measures out their assigned place.
They will live there
they will settle in it through successive generations.
63:1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
dressed in bright red, coming from Bozrah?
Who
who marches confidently
“It is I, the one who announces vindication,
and who is able to deliver!”
63:2 Why are your clothes red?
Why do you look like someone who has stomped on grapes in a vat?
63:3 “I have stomped grapes in the winepress all by myself;
no one from the nations joined me.
I stomped on them
I trampled them down in my rage.
Their juice splashed on my garments,
and stained
63:4 For I looked forward to the day of vengeance,
and then payback time arrived.
63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help;
I was shocked because there was no one offering support.
So my right arm accomplished deliverance;
my raging anger drove me on.
63:6 I trampled nations in my anger,
I made them drunk
I splashed their blood on the ground.”
24:18 Edom will be a possession,
Seir,
but Israel will act valiantly.
137:7 Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
They said, “Tear it down, tear it down,
right to its very foundation!”
49:7 The Lord who rules over all
“Is wisdom no longer to be found in Teman?
Can Edom’s counselors not give her any good advice?
Has all of their wisdom turned bad?
49:8 Turn and flee! Take up refuge in remote places,
you people who live in Dedan.
For I will bring disaster on the descendants of Esau.
I have decided it is time for me to punish them.
49:9 If grape pickers came to pick your grapes,
would they not leave a few grapes behind?
If robbers came at night,
would they not pillage only what they needed?
49:10 But I will strip everything away from Esau’s descendants.
I will uncover their hiding places so they cannot hide.
Their children, relatives, and neighbors will all be destroyed.
Not one of them will be left!
49:11 Leave your orphans behind and I will keep them alive.
Your widows too can depend on me.”
49:12 For the Lord says, “If even those who did not deserve to drink from the cup of my wrath must drink from it, do you think you will go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, but must certainly drink from the cup of my wrath.
49:14 I said,
A messenger has been sent among the nations to say,
‘Gather your armies and march out against her!
Prepare to do battle with her!’”
49:15 The Lord says to Edom,
“I will certainly make you small among nations.
I will make you despised by all humankind.
49:16 The terror you inspire in others
and the arrogance of your heart have deceived you.
You may make your home in the clefts of the rocks;
you may occupy the highest places in the hills.
But even if you made your home where the eagles nest,
I would bring you down from there,”
says the Lord.
49:17 “Edom will become an object of horror.
All who pass by it will be filled with horror;
they will hiss out their scorn
because of all the disasters that have happened to it.
49:18 Edom will be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah
and the towns that were around them.
No one will live there.
No human being will settle in it,”
says the Lord.
49:19 “A lion coming up from the thick undergrowth along the Jordan
scatters the sheep in the pastureland around it.
So too I will chase the Edomites off their land.
Then I will appoint over it whomever I choose.
For there is no one like me, and there is no one who can call me to account.
There is no
49:20 So listen to what I, the Lord, have planned against Edom,
what I intend to do to
Their little ones will be dragged off.
I will completely destroy their land because of what they have done.
49:21 The people of the earth will quake when they hear of their downfall.
Their cries of anguish will be heard all the way to the Gulf of Aqaba.
49:22 Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings,
a nation will soar up and swoop down on Bozrah.
At that time the soldiers of Edom will be as fearful
as a woman in labor.”
35:1 The word of the Lord came to me:
35:2 “Son of man, turn toward
“‘Look, I am against you, Mount Seir;
I will stretch out my hand against you
and turn you into a desolate ruin.
35:4 I will lay waste your cities;
and you will become desolate.
Then you will know that I am the Lord!
35:5 “‘You have shown unrelenting hostility and poured the people of Israel onto the blades of a sword
35:10 “‘You said, “These two nations, these two lands
3:19 Egypt will be desolate
and Edom will be a desolate wilderness,
because of the violence they did to the people of Judah,
in whose land they shed innocent blood.
1:6 This is what the Lord says:
“Because Gaza
make that four!
They deported a whole community
1:11 This is what the Lord says:
“Because Edom has committed three crimes
make that four!
He chased his brother
he wiped out his allies.
In his anger he tore them apart without stopping to rest;
in his fury he relentlessly attacked them.
1:12 So I will set Teman
fire
1:1 The vision
The Lord God
We have heard a report from the Lord.
An envoy was sent among the nations, saying,
“Arise! Let us make war against Edom!”
1:2 The Lord says,
you will be greatly despised!
1:3 Your presumptuous heart
you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs,
whose home is high in the mountains.
You think to yourself,
‘No one can

even if you
I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.
1:5 “If thieves came to rob you
they would steal only as much as they wanted!
If grape pickers came to harvest your vineyards,
they would leave some behind for the poor!
But you will be totally destroyed!
1:6 How the people of Esau

Your treaty partners
Your trusted friends

1:8 At that time,”
“I will destroy the wise sages of Edom!

1:9 Your warriors will be shattered, O Teman,
so that

shame will cover you, and you will be destroyed
1:11 You stood aloof
and foreigners advanced to his gates.
When they cast lots
you behaved as though you were in league
1:12 You should not
You should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah when they were destroyed.
You should not have boasted
1:13 You should not have entered the city
You should not have joined
You should not have looted
1:14 You should not have stood at the fork in the road
You should not have captured their refugees when they suffered adversity.
1:15 “For the day of the Lord
Just as you have done, so it will be done to you.
You will get exactly what your deeds deserve.
1:16 For just as you
so all the nations will drink continually.
They will drink, and they will gulp down;
they will be as though they had never been.
1:2 “I have shown love to you,” says the Lord, but you say, “How have you shown love to us?”
“Esau was Jacob’s brother,” the Lord explains, “yet I chose Jacob
