Ezekiel 25:12-14
Lexham English Bible
12 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because of the doings of Edom in avenging himself with vengeance for[a] the house of Judah, and so they became very guilty and[b] they avenged themselves on them,” 13 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “so[c] I will stretch out my hand against Edom and I will cut off from it both human and animal, and I will make it a ruin from Teman and Dedan; they will fall by the sword. 14 And I will exact my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will do in Edom according to my anger and according to my rage, and they will know my vengeance,” declares[d] the Lord Yahweh.

Ezekiel 25:12-14
International Standard Version
The Coming Destruction of Edom
12 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘Because Edom has made it their practice to seek extraordinary vengeance against Judah’s citizens,[a] and by doing so has incurred extraordinary guilt by taking revenge against them,’ 13 therefore this is what the Lord God says: ‘I’m going to raise my clenched fist[b] in Edom’s direction and eliminate every single human being and animal from Edom! I’m going to turn everything into a wasteland, starting with Teman, and Dedan will fall by violence![c] 14 I’m going to inundate Edom with[d] my retribution, using my people Israel to carry it out! They’ll deliver my anger, acting as an agent of my fury. Edom will come to know my vengeance,’ declares the Lord God.’”
