Prophecy against Edom
7 Concerning (A)Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Is there no longer any (B)wisdom in (C)Teman?

Edom
12 ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because (A)Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,” 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, “I will also (B)stretch out My hand against Edom and (C)cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from (D)Teman even to (E)Dedan they will fall by the sword. 14 (F)I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom (G)according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance,” declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 35
New American Standard Bible 1995
Prophecy against Mount Seir
35 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against (A)Mount Seir, and prophesy against it 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord [a]God,
“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will (B)stretch out My hand against you
And make you a (C)desolation and a waste.
4 “I will (D)lay waste your cities
And you will become a desolation.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.
5 Because you have had everlasting (E)enmity and have [b]delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the [c](F)punishment of the end, 6 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will [d]give you over to (G)bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you. 7 I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will cut off from it the one who passes through and returns. 8 I will (H)fill its mountains with its slain; on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines those slain by the sword will [e]fall. 9 I will make you an everlasting (I)desolation and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you have (J)said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess [f]them,’ although the (K)Lord was there, 11 therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will deal with you (L)according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will (M)make Myself known among them when I judge you. 12 Then you will know [g]that I, the Lord, have heard all your revilings which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are laid desolate; they are (N)given to us for food.’ 13 And you have [h](O)spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; (P)I have heard it.” 14 Thus says the Lord God, “As all the (Q)earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation. 15 As you (R)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, (S)so I will do to you. You will be a (T)desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’

11 Thus says the Lord,

I will not revoke its punishment,
Because he (B)pursued his brother with the sword,
While he [a]stifled his compassion;
His anger also (C)tore continually,
And he maintained his fury forever.

New American Standard Bible 1995
Edom Will Be Humbled
1 The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord [a]God concerning (A)Edom—
(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an (C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“(D)Arise and let us go against her for battle”—
2 “Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 “The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of [b]the (G)rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 “Though you (I)build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
5 “If (K)thieves came to you,
If [c]robbers by night—
O how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only [d]until they had enough?
If grape gatherers came to you,
(L)Would they not leave some gleanings?
6 “O how Esau will be (M)ransacked,
And his hidden treasures searched out!
7 “All the (N)men [e]allied with you
Will send you forth to the border,
And the men at peace with you
Will deceive you and overpower you.
They who eat your (O)bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is (P)no understanding [f]in him.)
8 “Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“(Q)Destroy wise men from Edom
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 “Then your (R)mighty men will be dismayed, O (S)Teman,
So that everyone may be (T)cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 “Because of (U)violence to your brother Jacob,
[g]You will be covered with shame,
(V)And you will be cut off forever.
11 “On the day that you (W)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (X)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(Y)You too were as one of them.
12 “(Z)Do not [h]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (AA)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Yes, (AB)do not [i]boast
In the day of their distress.
13 “Do not enter the gate of My people
In the (AC)day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not [j]gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not (AD)loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
14 “Do not (AE)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.

4 Though Edom says, “We have been (A)beaten down, but we will [a](B)return and build up the ruins”; thus says the Lord of hosts, “They may (C)build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the [b]wicked territory, and the people [c]toward whom the Lord is indignant (D)forever.”
