Lord, remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell.“ Tear it down!” they cried.“ Tear it down to the ground!”

耶路撒冷遭难的日子，以东人说：“拆毁，拆毁，直拆到根基！”耶和华啊，求你记念这仇！

耶路撒冷攻破的日子，以东人说：“拆毁！拆毁！直拆到根基！”耶和华啊，求你记得！

耶和華啊，求你記住耶路撒冷遭難的日子，以東的子孫說過：「拆光！拆光！直到她的根基！」

耶和華歟、耶路撒冷遭難時、以東族曰、毀之毀之、至於基址、尚其念之兮、

耶和華兮、昔耶路撒冷遭難之時、以東之民曰、拆而毀之、除其基址、今求爾追憶斯言兮、

耶路撒冷遭難之日、以東人云、毀之毀之、至於基址、求主記憶此言、

猶憶瑟琳遭難日。夷東蠻子競相呼。摧殘聖邑方為快。祈主毋忘作孽徒。

Remember, Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell.“ Tear it down,” they cried,“ tear it down to its foundations!”

Remember, O Lord, against the Edomites the day of Jerusalem, how they said,“ Lay it bare, lay it bare, down to its foundations!”

O Lord, remember what the Edomites did on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.“ Destroy it!” they yelled.“ Level it to the ground!”

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

Remember, Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Those who said,“ Lay it bare, lay it bare To its foundation!”

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said,“ Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!”

Remember, O Jehovah, against the children of Edom The day of Jerusalem; Who said, Rase it, rase it, Even to the foundation thereof.

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

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase[ it], rase[ it, even] to the foundation thereof.

Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said,“ Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!”

Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said,“ Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

You did harmful things to the people of Jacob. They are your relatives. So you will be covered with shame. You will be destroyed forever.Outsiders entered the gates of Jerusalem. They cast lots to see what each one would get. Strangers carried off its wealth. When that happened, you just stood there and did nothing. You were like one of them.That was a time of trouble for your relatives. So you shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. The people of Judah were destroyed. So you should not have been happy about it. You should not have laughed at them so much when they were in trouble.You should not have marched through the gates of my people’s city when they were in trouble. You shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. You should not have stolen their wealth when they were in trouble.You waited where the roads cross. You wanted to cut down those who were running away. You should not have done that. You handed over to their enemies those who were still left alive. You should not have done that. They were in trouble.

The Lord and King says,“ Edom got even with Judah. That made Edom very guilty.”The Lord continues,“ I will reach out my hand against Edom. I will kill its people and their animals. I will completely destroy it. They will be killed by swords from Teman all the way to Dedan.I will use my people Israel to pay Edom back. They will punish Edom because my anger against it is great. They will know how I pay back my enemies,” announces the Lord and King.

People of Edom, be joyful. You who live in the land of Uz, be glad. But the cup of the Lord’ s anger will also be passed to you. Then you will become drunk. Your clothes will be stripped off.People of Zion, the time for you to be punished will come to an end. The Lord won’t keep you away from your land any longer. But he will punish your sin, people of Edom. He will show everyone the evil things you have done.

Here is what the Lord says about Edom. The Lord who rules over all says,“ Isn’t there wisdom in the town of Teman anymore? Can’t those who are wise give advice? Has their wisdom disappeared completely?Turn around and run away, you who live in Dedan. Hide in deep caves. I will bring trouble on Esau’s family line. I will do this at the time I punish them.Edom, suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines. They would still leave a few grapes. Suppose robbers came at night. They would steal only as much as they wanted.But I will strip everything away from Esau’s people. I will uncover their hiding places. They will not be able to hide anywhere. Their army is destroyed. Their friends and neighbors are destroyed. So there is no one to say,‘ Leave your children whose fathers have died. I will keep them alive. Your widows can also depend on me.’ ”The Lord says,“ What if those who do not have to drink the cup must drink it anyway? Then shouldn’t you be punished? You will certainly be punished. You must drink the cup.I make a promise in my own name. Bozrah will be destroyed,” announces the Lord.“ People will be shocked at it. They will say Bozrah is a shameful place. They will use its name as a curse. And all its towns will be destroyed forever.”I’ve heard a message from the Lord. A messenger was sent to the nations. The Lord told him to say,“ Gather yourselves together to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!”The Lord says to Edom,“ I will make you weak among the nations. They will hate you.You live in the safety of the rocks. You live on top of the hills. But the terror you stir up has now turned against you. Your proud heart has tricked you. You build your nest as high as an eagle does. But I will bring you down from there,” announces the Lord.“ People of Edom, all those who pass by you will be shocked. They will make fun of you because of all your wounds.Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. So were the towns that were near them,” says the Lord.“ You will be just like them. No one will live in your land. No human beings will stay there.“ I will be like a lion coming up from the bushes by the Jordan River. I will hunt in rich grasslands. I will chase you from your land in an instant. What nation will I choose to do this? Which one will I appoint? Is anyone like me? Who would dare to argue with me? What leader can stand against me?”So listen to what the Lord has planned against the people of Edom. Hear what he has planned against those who live in Teman. Edom’s young people will be dragged away. Their grasslands will be shocked at their fate.When the earth hears Edom fall, it will shake. The people’s cries will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.Look! An enemy is coming. It’s like an eagle diving down. It will spread its wings over Bozrah. At that time the hearts of Edom’s soldiers will tremble in fear. They’ll be like the heart of a woman having a baby.

The Lord says,“ The people of Edom have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They chased Israel with swords that were ready to strike them down. They killed the women of the land. They were angry all the time. Their anger was like a fire that blazed out. It could not be stopped.

But they do not realize that I remember all the evil things they do. Their sins pile up and cover them. I am always aware of their sins.

Don’t hold against us the sins of our people who lived before us. May you be quick to show us your tender love. We are in great need.God our Savior, help us. Then glory will come to you. Save us and forgive our sins. Then people will honor your name.Why should the nations say,“ Where is their God?” Show the nations that you punish those who kill your people. We want to see it happen.Listen to the groans of the prisoners. Use your strong arm to save people sentenced to death.Lord, our neighbors have laughed at you. Pay them back seven times for what they have done.

Who is this man coming from the city of Bozrah in Edom? His clothes are stained bright red. Who is he? He is dressed up in all his glory. He is marching toward us with great strength. The Lord answers,“ It is I. I have won the battle. I am mighty. I have saved my people.”Why are your clothes red? They look as if you have been stomping on grapes in a winepress.The Lord answers,“ I have been stomping on the nations as if they were grapes. No one was there to help me. I walked all over the nations because I was angry. That is why I stomped on them. Their blood splashed all over my clothes. So my clothes were stained bright red.I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies. The year for me to set my people free had come.I looked around, but no one was there to help me. I was shocked that no one gave me any help. So I used my own power to save my people. I had the strength to do it because I was angry.I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them. I made them drink from the cup of my great anger. I poured out their blood on the ground.”

The sword of the Lord will finish its deadly work in the sky. Then it will come down to strike Edom. He will totally destroy that nation.His sword will be red with blood. It will be covered with fat. The blood will flow like the blood of lambs and goats being sacrificed. The fat will be like the fat taken from the kidneys of rams. That’s because the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah. He will kill many people in the land of Edom.

“ Son of man, turn your attention to Mount Seir. Prophesy against it.

The Lord who rules over all says,‘ I will punish the Amalekites because of what they did to Israel. As the Israelites came up from Egypt, the Amalekites attacked them.

You came out to set your people free. You saved your chosen ones. You crushed Pharaoh, the leader of that evil land of Egypt. You stripped him from head to foot.

They will be like a fire. Joseph’s people will be like a flame. The nation of Edom will be like straw. Jacob’s people will set Edom on fire and burn it up. No one will be left alive among Esau’s people.” The Lord has spoken.Israelites from the Negev Desert will take over Esau’s mountains. Israelites from the western hills will possess the land of the Philistines. They’ll take over the territories of Ephraim and Samaria. Israelites from the tribe of Benjamin will possess the land of Gilead.Some Israelites were forced to leave their homes. They’ll come back to Canaan and possess it all the way to the town of Zarephath. Some people from Jerusalem were taken to the city of Sepharad. They’ll return and possess the towns of the Negev Desert.Leaders from Mount Zion will go and rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the Lord.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ This is something to be remembered. So write it on a scroll. Make sure Joshua knows you have done it. I will completely erase the memory of the Amalekites from the earth.”

Lord, remember how your enemies have made fun of you. Remember how foolish people have attacked you with their words.
