The Lord's Love for Israel
2 (A)“I have loved you,” says the Lord. (B)But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau (C)Jacob's brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet (D)I have loved Jacob 3 but Esau I have hated. (E)I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.” 4 If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’”

Edom's Violence Against Jacob
10 (A)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
(B)and you shall be cut off forever.
11 (C)On the day that you stood aloof,
(D)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
(E)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 (F)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
(G)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
(H)do not boast[a]
in the day of distress.
13 (I)Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
(J)do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
(K)do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 (L)Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
The Day of the Lord Is Near
15 For (M)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(N)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 (O)For as you have drunk on (P)my holy mountain,
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.

Edom Will Be Humbled
Thus says the Lord God (A)concerning Edom:

“Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”

(E)“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; (F)they are given us to devour.’ 13 And (G)you magnified yourselves against me (H)with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: (I)While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you (J)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, (K)Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it.

The Cup of the Lord's Wrath
15 Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: (A)“Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of (B)the sword that I am sending among them.”
17 So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, (C)and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it: 18 (D)Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials, (E)to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day; 19 (F)Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his officials, all his people, 20 and (G)all the mixed tribes among them; all the kings of (H)the land of Uz and all the kings of (I)the land of the Philistines ((J)Ashkelon, (K)Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of (L)Ashdod); 21 (M)Edom, (N)Moab, and the sons of (O)Ammon; 22 all the kings of (P)Tyre, all the kings of (Q)Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across (R)the sea; 23 (S)Dedan, (T)Tema, (U)Buz, and all who cut (V)the corners of their hair; 24 all the (W)kings of Arabia and all the kings of (X)the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert; 25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of (Y)Elam, and all the kings of (Z)Media; 26 all the kings of (AA)the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of (AB)Babylon[a] shall drink.
27 “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (AC)Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of (AD)the sword that I am sending among you.’
28 “And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (AE)You must drink! 29 For behold, (AF)I begin to work disaster at the city that is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, (AG)for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the Lord of hosts.’

The Lord's Day of Vengeance
63 Who is this who comes from (A)Edom,
in crimsoned garments from (B)Bozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
(C)marching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
3 (F)“I have trodden the winepress alone,
(G)and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood[a] spattered on my garments,
and stained all my apparel.
4 (H)For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption[b] had come.
5 I looked, but (I)there was no one to help;
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
and my wrath upheld me.
6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
(J)I made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

Judgment on the Nations
34 Draw near, (A)O nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has (B)devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and (C)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
(D)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 (E)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon (F)Edom,
upon the people (G)I have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
(H)For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 (I)Wild oxen shall (J)fall with them,
and (K)young steers with (L)the mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 (M)For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 (N)And the streams of Edom[b] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day (O)it shall not be quenched;
(P)its smoke shall go up forever.
(Q)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (R)But the hawk and the porcupine[c] shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
(S)He shall stretch the line of (T)confusion[d] over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 (U)Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of (V)jackals,
an abode for ostriches.[e]
14 (W)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[f] settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (X)the hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 (Y)He has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
