Isaiah 34:5


5
For aMy sword is satiated in heaven;
Behold, it shall descend for judgment upon bEdom
And upon the people whom I have cdevoted to destruction.

Isaiah 34:10-17


10
It will anot be quenched night or day;
Its bsmoke will go up forever.
From cgeneration to generation it will be laid waste;
dNone will pass through it forever and ever.

11
But 1apelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And 2owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the bline of utter formlessness
And the 3plumb line of utter void.

12
Its nobles—there is ano one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be bnon‑existent.

13
And thorns will come up in its afortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of bjackals
And an abode of ostriches.

14
And the desert acreatures will meet with the 1wolves;
The 2ahairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Surely, the 3night creature will obtain relief there
And will find itself a resting place.

15
The 1owl will make its nest and find its escape there,
And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.
Surely, athe 2falcons will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.


16 Seek from the abook of Yahweh, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For 1bHis mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.

17
He has cast the alot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by bline.
They shall possess it forever;
From cgeneration to generation they will dwell in it.

Jeremiah 49:7


Word Against Edom

7
Concerning aEdom.
Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Is there no longer any bwisdom in cTeman?
Has counsel been lost to the understanding?
Has their wisdom decayed?

Jeremiah 49:13-18

13 For I have asworn by Myself,” declares Yahweh, “that bBozrah will become an cobject of horror, a reproach, a ruin, and an imprecation; and all its cities will become perpetual 1ruins.”
14
I have aheard a message from Yahweh,
And an benvoy is sent among the nations, saying,
“cGather 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 dwell in the clefts of 1the arock,
Who seize the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as bhigh as an eagle’s,
I will cbring you down from there,” declares Yahweh.

17 “Edom will become 1an aobject of horror; everyone who passes by it will 2be horrified and will bhiss at all its wounds.
18 Like the aoverthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says Yahweh, “bno one will live there, nor will a son of man sojourn in it.
