The Coming Destruction of Edom

¹² “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Because Edom has made it their practice to seek extraordinary vengeance against Judah’s citizens,^[a] and by doing so has incurred extraordinary guilt by taking revenge against them,’ ¹³ therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘I’m going to raise my clenched fist^[b] in Edom’s direction and eliminate every single human being and animal from Edom! I’m going to turn everything into a wasteland, starting with Teman, and Dedan will fall by violence!^{[c] 14} I’m going to inundate Edom with^[d] my retribution, using my people Israel to carry it out! They’ll deliver my anger, acting as an agent of my fury. Edom will come to know my vengeance,’ declares the Lord God.’”
