This is what the Lord God says:“ Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah and incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them,

“主耶和华如此说：因为以东向犹大家报仇，因向他们报仇而大大显为有罪，

“主耶和华如此说：因为以东向犹大家报仇，因向他们报仇而大大显为有罪，

“耶和华说，‘因为以东报复犹大，犯了大罪。

主耶和华这样说：“因为以东向犹大家报仇雪恨。他们这样作，就犯了大罪。

主耶和華如此說：「因為以東報仇雪恨，攻擊猶大家，向他們報仇，大大有罪，

「主耶和華如此說：因為以東向猶大家報仇，因向他們報仇而大大顯為有罪，

『主永恆主這麼說：以東對猶大家既行了報仇的事，既向他們報仇而行了大壞事，

主耶和華曰、以東行報復於猶大家、因報復而干大罪、

主耶和華曰、以東攻猶大以雪其忿、干犯於我。

主天主如是云、以東攻猶大族以復仇、因其復仇干犯罪戾、

“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says:‘ Because Edom took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so,

The Lord and King says,“ Edom got even with Judah. That made Edom very guilty.”

“ Thus says the Lord God: Because Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended in taking vengeance on them,

“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Edom have sinned greatly by avenging themselves against the people of Judah.

“‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah and incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them,

‘ The Lord God says this:“ Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred great guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,”

‘ Thus says the Lord GOD:“ Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,”

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;

“ This is what the sovereign LORD says:‘ Edom has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable by taking vengeance on them.

“‘ The Lord Yahweh says:“ Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and taken revenge on them;”

Remember, Lord, what the Edomites said that day at Jerusalem:“ Destroy it! Destroy it down to its foundations!”

About Edom, this is what the Lord of Hosts says: Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom rotted away?Run! Turn back! Lie low, residents of Dedan, for I will bring Esau’s calamity on him at the time I punish him.If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, they would destroy only what they wanted.But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his secret places. He will try to hide himself, but he will be unable. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors. He will exist no longer.Abandon your fatherless; I will preserve them; let your widows trust in Me.“ For this is what the Lord says: If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not remain unpunished, for you must drink it too.For by Myself I have sworn”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will become ruins forever.”I have heard a message from the Lord; a messenger has been sent among the nations: Assemble yourselves to come against her. Rise up for war!Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations, despised among humanity.As to the terror you cause, your presumptuous heart has deceived you. You who live in the clefts of the rock, you who occupy the mountain summit, though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord’s declaration.“ Edom will become a desolation. Everyone who passes by her will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.As when Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the Lord,“ no one will live there; no human being will even stay in it as a temporary resident.“ Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Edom away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”Therefore, hear the plans that the Lord has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: The flock’s little lambs will certainly be dragged away, and their grazing land will be made desolate because of them.At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; the sound of her cry will be heard at the Red Sea.Look! It will be like an eagle soaring upward, then swooping down and spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.

This is what the Lord God says:“ Because Moab and Seir said,‘ Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations,’

The Lord says: I will not relent from punishing Edom for three crimes, even four, because he pursued his brother with the sword. He stifled his compassion, his anger tore at them continually, and he harbored his rage incessantly.Therefore, I will send fire against Teman, and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.

You will be covered with shame and destroyed forever because of violence done to your brother Jacob.On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers captured his wealth, while foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.Do not gloat over your brother in the day of his calamity; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boastfully mock in the day of distress.Do not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster. Yes, you— do not gloat over their misery in the day of their disaster and do not appropriate their possessions in the day of their disaster.Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, and do not hand over their survivors in the day of distress.For the Day of the Lord is near, against all the nations. As you have done, so it will be done to you; what you deserve will return on your own head.As you have drunk on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp down and be as though they had never been.

Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. And Esau determined in his heart:“ The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”When the words of her older son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she summoned her younger son Jacob and said to him,“ Listen, your brother Esau is consoling himself by planning to kill you.

The Edomites came again, attacked Judah, and took captives.The Philistines also raided the cities of the Judean foothills and the Negev of Judah and captured Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its villages, Timnah and its villages, Gimzo and its villages, and they lived there.

The word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, turn your face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it.Say to it: This is what the Lord God says: Look! I am against you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.“ Because you maintained an ancient hatred and handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,therefore, as I live”— this is the declaration of the Lord God—“ I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.“ Because you said,‘ These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them’— though the Lord was there—therefore, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord God—“ I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the blasphemies you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying,‘ They are desolate. They have been given to us to devour!’You boasted against Me with your mouth, and spoke many words against Me. I heard it Myself!“ This is what the Lord God says: While the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation.Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it became a desolation, so I will deal with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and so will all Edom in its entirety. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
