Jeremiah 49:13
49:13 For I solemnly swear,”
says the
Lord, “that Bozrah
will become a pile of ruins. It will become an object of horror and ridicule, an example to be used in curses.
All the towns around it will lie in ruins forever.”
Isaiah 34:9-15
34:9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch
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 will live there,
all kinds of wild birds will settle in it.
The Lord will stretch out over her
the measuring line of ruin
and the plumb line of destruction.
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 in her fortified cities.
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 will rest there
and make for themselves a nest.
34:15 Owls will make nests and lay eggs there;
they will hatch them and protect them.
Yes, hawks will gather there,
each with its mate.
Ezekiel 25:13
25:13 So this is what the sovereign
Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and I will kill the people and animals within her,
and I will make her desolate; from Teman to Dedan they will die
by the sword.
Ezekiel 35:7
35:7 I will turn Mount Seir into a desolate ruin;
I will cut off
from it the one who passes through or returns.
Ezekiel 35:15
35:15 As you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so will I deal with you – you will be desolate, Mount Seir, and all of Edom – all of it! Then they will know that I am the
Lord.’”
