One keeps calling to me from ^(B)Seir,
“Watchman, ^[c]how far gone is the night?
Watchman, ^[d]how far gone is the night?”
¹² The watchman says,
“Morning comes but also night.
If you would inquire, inquire;
Come back again.”

34 Draw near, ^(A)O nations, to hear; and pay attention, O peoples!
^(B)Let the earth hear, as well as its fullness, the world and all that springs from it.
² For the ^(C)indignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their ^[a]hosts;
He has ^[b](D)devoted them to destruction;
He has given them over to ^(E)slaughter.
³ So their slain will be ^(F)cast out,
And their corpses ^[c]will give off their ^(G)stench,
And the mountains will ^[d]be drenched with their ^(H)blood.
⁴ And ^(I)all the host of heaven will rot away,
And the ^(J)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
⁵ For ^(K)My sword is satiated in heaven;
Behold, it shall descend for judgment upon ^(L)Edom
And upon the people whom I have ^(M)devoted to destruction.
⁶ The sword of Yahweh is filled with blood;
It is ^[e]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For Yahweh has a sacrifice in ^(N)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of ^(O)Edom.
^7 (P)And wild oxen will also ^[f]fall with them,
And ^(Q)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be ^(R)soaked with blood,
And their dust ^[g]become greasy with fat.
⁸ For Yahweh has a day of ^(S)vengeance,
A year of recompense for the ^[h]cause of Zion.
^9 [i]And its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its dust into ^(T)brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
¹⁰ It will ^(U)not be quenched night or day;
Its ^(V)smoke will go up forever.
From ^(W)generation to generation it will be laid waste;
^(X)None will pass through it forever and ever.
¹¹ But ^[j](Y)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And ^[k]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the ^(Z)line of utter formlessness
And the ^[l]plumb line of utter void.
¹² Its nobles—there is ^(AA)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be ^(AB)non-existent.
¹³ And thorns will come up in its ^(AC)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(AD)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
¹⁴ And the desert ^(AE)creatures will meet with the ^[m]wolves;
The ^[n](AF)hairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Surely, the ^[o]night creature will obtain relief there
And will find itself a resting place.
¹⁵ The ^[p]owl will make its nest and find its escape there,
And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.
Surely, ^(AG)the ^[q]falcons will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.

Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For ^[r](AI)His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
¹⁷ He has cast the ^(AJ)lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by ^(AK)line.
They shall possess it forever;
From ^(AL)generation to generation they will dwell in it.

63 Who is this who comes from ^(A)Edom,
With ^(B)garments of ^[a]glowing colors from ^(C)Bozrah,
This One who is majestic in His clothing,
^[b]Marching in the greatness of His power?
“It is I who speak in righteousness, ^(D)mighty to save.”
² Why is Your clothing red,
And Your garments like the one who ^(E)treads in the wine press?
³ “^(F)I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also ^(G)trod them in My anger
And ^(H)trampled them in My wrath;
And ^(I)their ^[c]lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I ^[d]stained all My clothes.
⁴ For the ^(J)day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
⁵ I looked, and there was ^(K)no one to help,
And I was astonished, and there was no one to uphold;
So My ^(L)own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
⁶ I ^(M)trod down the peoples in My anger
And made them ^(N)drunk in My wrath,
And I brought down their lifeblood to the earth.”

⁷ Concerning ^(A)Edom.
Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Is there no longer any ^(B)wisdom in ^(C)Teman?
Has counsel been lost to the understanding?
Has their wisdom decayed?
⁸ Flee away, turn back, inhabit the depths,
O inhabitants of ^(D)Dedan,
For I ^[a]will bring the ^(E)disaster of Esau upon him
At the time I ^[b]punish him.
^9 (F)If grape gatherers came to you,
Would they not have gleanings remain?
If thieves came by night,
They would ruin only ^[c]until they had enough.
¹⁰ But I have ^(G)stripped Esau bare;
I have uncovered his hiding places,
So that he will not be able to conceal himself;
His seed has been destroyed along with his ^[d]relatives
And his neighbors, and ^(H)he is no more.
¹¹ Leave your ^[e](I)orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
And let your ^(J)widows trust in Me.”

¹⁴ I have ^(P)heard a message from Yahweh,
And an ^(Q)envoy is sent among the nations, saying,
“^(R)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
¹⁵ “For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among men.
¹⁶ As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of ^[g]the ^(S)rock,
Who seize the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as ^(T)high as an eagle’s,
I will ^(U)bring you down from there,” declares Yahweh.

¹⁹ Egypt will become a desolation,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the ^(A)violence ^[a]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
