Psalm 83:4-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 They have said, “Come, and (A)let us wipe them out [a]as a nation,
That the (B)name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 For they have [b](C)conspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
6 The tents of (D)Edom and the (E)Ishmaelites,
(F)Moab and the (G)Hagrites;
7 (H)Gebal and (I)Ammon and (J)Amalek,
(K)Philistia with the inhabitants of (L)Tyre;
8 (M)Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become [c]a help to the (N)children of Lot. [d]Selah.

Isaiah 34:5-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 For (A)My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (B)Edom
And upon the people whom I have (C)devoted to destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is [a]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (D)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of (E)Edom.

Prophecy against Edom
7 Concerning (A)Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Is there no longer any (B)wisdom in (C)Teman?
Has good counsel been lost to the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
8 “Flee away, turn back, dwell in 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 leave gleanings?
If thieves came by night,
They would destroy 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 [d]offspring has been destroyed along with his [e]relatives
And his neighbors, and (H)he is no more.
11 “Leave your [f](I)orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
And let your (J)widows trust in Me.”
12 For thus says the Lord, “Behold, those [g]who were not sentenced to drink the (K)cup will certainly drink it, and are you the one who will be (L)completely acquitted? You will not be acquitted, but you will certainly drink it. 13 For I have (M)sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that (N)Bozrah will become an (O)object of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.”
14 I have (P)heard a message from the Lord,
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 live in the clefts of [h]the (S)rock,
Who occupy 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 the Lord.
17 “Edom will become an (V)object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will (W)hiss at all its wounds. 18 Like the (X)overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “(Y)no one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it. 19 (Z)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the [i](AA)thickets of the Jordan against [j]a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is (AB)chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is (AC)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd (AD)who can stand against Me?”
20 Therefore hear the (AE)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their [k]pasture (AF)desolate because of them. 21 The (AG)earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the [l]Red Sea. 22 Behold, [m]He will mount up and (AH)swoop like an eagle and spread out His wings [n]against Bozrah; and the (AI)hearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of (A)Edom,
Who dwells in the land of Uz;
But the (B)cup will come around to you as well,
You will become drunk and make yourself naked.

New American Standard Bible 1995
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.

11 Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of (A)Edom and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because he (B)pursued his brother with the sword,

His anger also (C)tore continually,
And he maintained his fury forever.

11 “On the day that you (C)stood aloof,

13 “Do not enter the gate of My people
In the (I)day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not [d]gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not (J)loot their wealth

14 “Do not (K)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.
