“For three transgressions of (A)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his (B)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;

And he kept his wrath forever.

But Esau I have hated,
And (A)laid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”

Even though Edom has said,
“We have been impoverished,
But we will return and build the desolate places,”

Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“They may build, but I will (B)throw down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,
And the people against whom the Lord will have indignation forever.

Proclamation Against Edom

12 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (A)“Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,” 13 therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; [a]Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14 (B)I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God.

17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
(A)Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
18 (B)As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.

19 “Behold,(C) he shall come up like a lion from (D)the [a]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For (E)who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And (F)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

20 (G)Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall [b]draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.

Passage Through Edom Refused

14 (A)Now Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of (B)Edom. (C)“Thus says your brother Israel: ‘You know all the hardship that has befallen us, 15 (D)how our fathers went down to Egypt, (E)and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, (F)and the Egyptians [a]afflicted us and our fathers. 16 (G)When we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and (H)sent the Angel and brought us up out of Egypt; now here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border. 17 Please (I)let us pass through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from wells; we will go along the King’s Highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory.’ ”

18 Then (J)Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through my land, lest I come out against you with the sword.”

19 So the children of Israel said to him, “We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, (K)then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.

20 Then he said, (L)“You shall not pass through.” So Edom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand. 21 Thus Edom (M)refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel (N)turned away from him.

14 ‘Thus says the Lord God: (F)“The whole earth will rejoice when I make you desolate. 15 (G)As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, (H)so I will do to you; you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom—all of it!
