  • Ezek 25:12-14 : 12 Thus says the Lord GOD; Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, says the Lord GOD.
  • Obad 1:10-14 : 10 For your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were as one of them. 12 But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother in the day of his calamity; nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 13 You should not have entered the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; indeed, you should not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. 14 You should not have stood at the crossroads to cut off those among them who escaped; nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained in the day of distress.
  • 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.
  • Lam 4:21-22 : 21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, who dwell in the land of Uz; the cup shall also pass to you, you shall become drunk and make yourself naked. 22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no longer carry you away into captivity; he will visit your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins.
  • Obad 1:18-21 : 18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall kindle them and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken. 19 Those of the South shall possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the plain the Philistines; they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20 The captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South. 21 Then deliverers shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

Let Him be known among the heathen in our sight by avenging the blood of Your servants which is shed. 11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before You; according to the greatness of Your power, preserve those appointed to die; 12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
  • Isa 34:5-6 : 5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
