Ezekiel 25:12-14

Prophecy Against Edom

12 “Thus says the Lord God: Because ¹Edom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended ²in taking vengeance on them,

13 therefore thus says the Lord God, ³I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from ⁴Teman even to ⁵Dedan they shall fall by the sword.

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom ⁶by the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and ⁷they shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.
