they raise their voices in triumph.

his cities have been burned down and deserted.
2:36 Why do you constantly go about
changing your political allegiances?
You will get no help from Egypt
just as you got no help from Assyria.
4:13 Look! The enemy is approaching like gathering clouds.
The roar of his chariots is like that of a whirlwind.

They grow prosperous and are very fruitful.

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.
