New English Translation
A Prophecy Against Edom
12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Edom[a] has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable[b] by taking vengeance[c] on them.[d] 13 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and I will kill the people and animals within her,[e] and I will make her desolate; from Teman to Dedan they will die[f] by the sword. 14 I will exact my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will carry out in Edom my anger and rage; they will experience[g] my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”

Prophecy Against Edom
12 “Thus says the Lord God: Because (A)Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended (B)in taking vengeance on them, 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, (C)I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from (D)Teman even to (E)Dedan they shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom (F)by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and (G)they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.
