Ezekiel 25:12-14

Edom

12 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because 1Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,"
13 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also 2stretch out My hand against Edom and 3cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from 4Teman even to 5Dedan they will fall by the sword.
14 "6I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom 7according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance," declares the Lord GOD.
