  • Jer 49:7-9 : 7 Concerning Edom, thus says the LORD of hosts: Is wisdom no longer in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished? 8 Flee, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. 9 If grape gatherers come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, they would destroy until they had enough. 10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself: his descendants are spoiled, along with his brothers and his neighbors, and he is no more. 11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me. 12 For thus says the LORD: Behold, those whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk; and are you the one who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it. 13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes. 14 I have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent to the nations, saying, Gather and come against her, and rise up to battle. 15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations, and despised among men. 16 Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says the LORD. 17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues. 18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities, says the LORD, no man shall dwell there, nor shall a son of man reside in it. 19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swellings of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him flee away from her; and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? For who is like me? And who will appoint me the time? And who is that shepherd who will stand before me? 20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he will make their habitation desolate with them. 21 The earth is shaken at the noise of their fall, at the cry their noise was heard in the Red Sea. 22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be like the heart of a woman in her pangs.

  • Ezek 35:1-9 : 1 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 And say to it, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, O Mount Seir, I am against you, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make you most desolate. 4 I will lay your cities waste, and you shall be desolate, and you shall know that I am the LORD. 5 Because you have had a perpetual hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end: 6 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you: since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you. 7 Thus I will make Mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him who passes out and him who returns. 8 And I will fill its mountains with its slain men: in your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your rivers, shall they fall who are slain with the sword. 9 I will make you perpetual desolations, and your cities shall not return: and you shall know that I am the LORD. 10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there: 11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will do according to your anger, and according to your envy which you have used out of your hatred against them; and I will make Myself known among them, when I have judged you. 12 And you shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given to us to consume. 13 Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me, and have multiplied your words against Me: I have heard them. 14 Thus says the Lord GOD: When the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you rejoiced at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
