| taking vengeance--literally, "revenging with revengement," that is, the most unrelenting vengeance. It was not simple hatred, but deep-brooding, implacable revenge. The grudge of Edom or Esau was originally for Jacob's robbing him of Isaac's blessing (Gen 25:23; Gen 27:27-41). This purpose of revenge yielded to the extraordinary kindness of Jacob, through the blessing of Him with whom Jacob wrestled in prayer; but it was revived as an hereditary grudge in the posterity of Esau when they saw the younger branch rising to the pre-eminence which they thought of right belonged to themselves. More recently, for David's subjugation of Edom to Israel (Sa2 8:14). They therefore gave vent to their spite by joining the Chaldeans in destroying Jerusalem (Psa 137:7; Lam 4:22; Oba 1:10-14), and then intercepting and killing the fugitive Jews (Amo 1:11) and occupying part of the Jewish land as far as Hebron. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Edom, so named from Esau, consisted of various tribes enumerated in Gen. 36. The Edomites became a powerful nation before the Israelites came out of Egypt. David conquered them, but in the reign of Joram they rebelled and were not again subdued Kg2 8:20. Under the name of Idumea the land was conquered by John Hyrcanus (compare Eze 25:14), when many of the people adopted the religion of the Jews. In later times the Idumean Herod became king of Palestine, reckoning himself as a Jew. Mount Seir, deserted by its original inhabitants, was occupied by a tribe of Arabians (the Nabatheans), under whelm Petra rose and continued a flourishing city under Roman dominion, until the tide of Mahometan conquest brought it to that ruin in which Edom at last found the complete fulfillment of the prophecies uttered against it Eze 35:1-15.

Against the Edomites
Eze 25:12. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Because Edom acteth revengefully towards the house of Judah, and hath been very guilty in avenging itself upon them, Eze 25:13. Therefore, thus saith the Lord Jehovah, I will stretch out my hand over Edom, and cut off man and beast from it, and make it a desert from Teman, and unto Dedan they shall fall by the sword. Eze 25:14. And I will inflict my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel, that they may do to Edom according to my anger and my wrath; and they shall experience my vengeance, is the saying of the Lord Jehovah. - Whilst the Ammonites and the Moabites are charged with nothing more than malicious pleasure at the fall of Israel, and disregard of its divine calling, the Edomites are reproached with revengeful acts of hostility towards the house of Judah, and threatened with extermination in consequence. The עשׂות, doing or acting of Edom, is more precisely defined as 'בּנקום וגו, i.e., as consisting in the taking of vengeance, and designated as very guilty, ישׁמוּ אשׁום. עשׂה, followed by בּ with an infinitive, as in Eze 17:17. Edom had sought every opportunity of acting thus revengefully towards Israel (vid., Oba 1:11; Amo 1:11), so that in Eze 35:5 Ezekiel speaks of the "eternal enmity" of Edom against Israel. For this reason we must not restrict the reproach in Eze 25:12 to particular outbreaks of this revenge at the time of the devastation and destruction of Judah by the Chaldeans, of which the Psalmist complains in Psa 137:1-9, and for which he invokes the vengeance of God upon Edom. Man and beast are to be cut off from Edom in consequence, and the land to become a desert from Teman to Dedan. These names denote not cities, but districts. Teman is the southern portion of Idumaea (see the comm. on Amo 1:12); and Dedan is therefore the northern district. Dedan is probably not the Cushite tribe mentioned in Gen 10:7, but the tribe of the same name which sprang from the sons of Abraham by Keturah (Gen 25:3), and which is also mentioned in Jer 49:8 in connection with Edom. דּדנה has ה local with Seghol instead of Kametz, probably on account of the preceding a (vid., Ewald, 216c). There is no necessity to connect מתּימן with the following clause, as Hitzig and Kliefoth have done, in opposition to the accents. The two geographical names, which are used as a periphrasis for Idumaea as a whole, are distributed equally through the parallelismus membrorum between the two clauses of the sentence, so that they belong to both clauses, so far as the sense is concerned. Edom is to become a desert from Teman to Dedan, and its inhabitants from Teman to Dedan are to fall by the sword. This judgment of vengeance will be executed by God through His people Israel. The fulfilment of this threat, no doubt, commenced with the subjugation of the Edomites by the Maccabees; but it is not to be limited to that event, as Rosenmller, Kliefoth, and others suppose, although the foundation was thereby laid for the disappearance of the national existence of Edom. For it is impossible with this limitation to do justice to the emphatic expression, "my people Israel." On the ground, therefore, of the prophecies in Amo 9:12 and Oba 1:17, that the people of God are to take possession of Edom, when the fallen tabernacle of David is raised up again, i.e., in the Messianic times, which prophecies point back to that of Balaam in Num 24:18, and have their roots, as this also has, in the promise of God concerning the twin sons of Isaac, "the elder shall serve the younger" (Gen 25:23), we must seek for the complete fulfilment in the victories of the people of God over all their foes, among whom Edom from time immemorial had taken the leading place, at the time when the kingdom of God is perfected. For even here Edom is not introduced merely as a single nation that was peculiarly hostile to Judah, but also as a type of the implacable enmity of the heathen world towards the people and kingdom of God, as in Eze 35:1-15, Isa. 34:63, etc. The vengeance, answering to the anger and wrath of Jehovah, which Israel, as the people of God, is to execute upon Edom, consists not merely in the annihilation of the national existence of Edom, which John Hyrcanus carried into effect by compelling the subjugated Edomites to adopt circumcision (see the comm. on Num 24:18), but chiefly in the wrathful judgment which Israel will execute in the person of Christ upon the arch-enemy of the kingdom of God by its complete extinction. |

| Because that Edom hath dealt - The Edomites were the most inveterate enemies of the Jews from the very earliest times, and ever did all that they could to annoy them. |
11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Edom [0123], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue [07291] his brother [0251] with the sword [02719], and did cast off [07843] all pity [07356], and his anger [0639] did tear [02963] perpetually [05703], and he kept [08104] his wrath [05678] for ever [05331]:
10 For thy violence [02555] against thy brother [0251] Jacob [03290] shame [0955] shall cover [03680] thee, and thou shalt be cut off [03772] for ever [05769].
11 In the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] on the other side, in the day [03117] that the strangers [02114] carried away captive [07617] his forces [02428], and foreigners [05237] entered [0935] into his gates [08179], and cast [03032] lots [01486] upon Jerusalem [03389], even thou wast as one [0259] of them.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on the day [03117] of thy brother [0251] in the day [03117] that he became a stranger [05235]; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced [08055] over the children [01121] of Judah [03063] in the day [03117] of their destruction [06]; neither shouldest thou have spoken [06310] proudly [01431] in the day [03117] of distress [06869].
13 Thou shouldest not have entered [0935] into the gate [08179] of my people [05971] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343]; yea, thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on their affliction [07451] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343], nor have laid [07971] hands on their substance [02428] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343];
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood [05975] in the crossway [06563], to cut off [03772] those of his that did escape [06412]; neither shouldest thou have delivered up [05462] those of his that did remain [08300] in the day [03117] of distress [06869].
22 The punishment of thine iniquity [05771] is accomplished [08552], O daughter [01323] of Zion [06726]; he will no more [03254] carry thee away into captivity [01540]: he will visit [06485] thine iniquity [05771], O daughter [01323] of Edom [0123]; he will discover [01540] thy sins [02403].
7 Remember [02142], O LORD [03068], the children [01121] of Edom [0123] in the day [03117] of Jerusalem [03389]; who said [0559], Rase [06168] it, rase [06168] it, even to the foundation [03247] thereof.
14 And he put [07760] garrisons [05333] in Edom [0123]; throughout all Edom [0123] put [07760] he garrisons [05333], and all they of Edom [0123] became David's [01732] servants [05650]. And the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980].
27 And he came near [05066], and kissed [05401] him: and he smelled [07306] the smell [07381] of his raiment [0899], and blessed [01288] him, and said [0559], See [07200], the smell [07381] of my son [01121] is as the smell [07381] of a field [07704] which the LORD [03068] hath blessed [01288]:
28 Therefore God [0430] give [05414] thee of the dew [02919] of heaven [08064], and the fatness [04924] of the earth [0776], and plenty [07230] of corn [01715] and wine [08492]:
29 Let people [05971] serve [05647] thee, and nations [03816] bow down [07812] to thee: be [01933] lord [01376] over thy brethren [0251], and let thy mother's [0517] sons [01121] bow down [07812] to thee: cursed [0779] be every one that curseth [0779] thee, and blessed [01288] be he that blesseth [01288] thee.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac [03327] had made an end [03615] of blessing [01288] Jacob [03290], and Jacob [03290] was yet [0389] scarce [03318] gone out [03318] from the presence [06440] of Isaac [03327] his father [01], that Esau [06215] his brother [0251] came in [0935] from his hunting [06718].
31 And he also had made [06213] savoury meat [04303], and brought it [0935] unto his father [01], and said [0559] unto his father [01], Let my father [01] arise [06965], and eat [0398] of his son's [01121] venison [06718], that thy soul [05315] may bless [01288] me.
32 And Isaac [03327] his father [01] said [0559] unto him, Who art thou? And he said [0559], I am thy son [01121], thy firstborn [01060] Esau [06215].
33 And Isaac [03327] trembled [02729] very [01419] exceedingly [03966] [02731], and said [0559], Who? where [0645] is he that hath taken [06679] venison [06718], and brought [0935] it me, and I have eaten [0398] of all before thou camest [0935], and have blessed [01288] him? yea, and he shall be blessed [01288].
34 And when Esau [06215] heard [08085] the words [01697] of his father [01], he cried [06817] with a great [01419] and exceeding [03966] bitter [04751] cry [06818], and said [0559] unto his father [01], Bless [01288] me, even me also, O my father [01].
35 And he said [0559], Thy brother [0251] came [0935] with subtilty [04820], and hath taken away [03947] thy blessing [01293].
36 And he said [0559], Is not he rightly [03588] named [07121] [08034] Jacob [03290]? for he hath supplanted me [06117] these [02088] two times [06471]: he took away [03947] my birthright [01062]; and, behold, now he hath taken away [03947] my blessing [01293]. And he said [0559], Hast thou not reserved [0680] a blessing [01293] for me?
37 And Isaac [03327] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto Esau [06215], Behold, I have made [07760] him thy lord [01376], and all his brethren [0251] have I given [05414] to him for servants [05650]; and with corn [01715] and wine [08492] have I sustained [05564] him: and what shall I do [06213] now [0645] unto thee, my son [01121]?
38 And Esau [06215] said [0559] unto his father [01], Hast thou but one [0259] blessing [01293], my father [01]? bless [01288] me, even me also, O my father [01]. And Esau [06215] lifted up [05375] his voice [06963], and wept [01058].
39 And Isaac [03327] his father [01] answered [06030] and said [0559] unto him, Behold, thy dwelling [04186] shall be the fatness [04924] of the earth [0776], and of the dew [02919] of heaven [08064] from above [05920];
40 And by thy sword [02719] shalt thou live [02421], and shalt serve [05647] thy brother [0251]; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion [07300], that thou shalt break [06561] his yoke [05923] from off thy neck [06677].
41 And Esau [06215] hated [07852] Jacob [03290] because [05921] of the blessing [01293] wherewith [0834] his father [01] blessed him [01288]: and Esau [06215] said [0559] in his heart [03820], The days [03117] of mourning [060] for my father [01] are at hand [07126]; then will I slay [02026] my brother [0251] Jacob [03290].
23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Two [08147] nations [01471] are in thy womb [0990], and two manner [08147] of people [03816] shall be separated [06504] from thy bowels [04578]; and the one people [03816] shall be stronger [0553] than the other people [03816]; and the elder [07227] shall serve [05647] the younger [06810].
36 And he said [0559], Is not he rightly [03588] named [07121] [08034] Jacob [03290]? for he hath supplanted me [06117] these [02088] two times [06471]: he took away [03947] my birthright [01062]; and, behold, now he hath taken away [03947] my blessing [01293]. And he said [0559], Hast thou not reserved [0680] a blessing [01293] for me?
1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against mount [02022] Seir [08165], and prophesy [05012] against it,
3 And say [0559] unto it, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O mount [02022] Seir [08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] against thee, and I will make [05414] thee most [04923] desolate [08077].
4 I will lay [07760] thy cities [05892] waste [02723], and thou shalt be desolate [08077], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]:
6 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will prepare [06213] thee unto blood [01818], and blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee: sith [0518] thou hast not hated [08130] blood [01818], even blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee.
7 Thus will I make [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] most [08077] desolate [08077], and cut off [03772] from it him that passeth out [05674] and him that returneth [07725].
8 And I will fill [04390] his mountains [02022] with his slain [02491] men: in thy hills [01389], and in thy valleys [01516], and in all thy rivers [0650], shall they fall [05307] that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719].
9 I will make [05414] thee perpetual [05769] desolations [08077], and thy cities [05892] shall not return [07725] [03427]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
10 Because thou hast said [0559], These two [08147] nations [01471] and these two [08147] countries [0776] shall be mine, and we will possess [03423] it; whereas the LORD [03068] was there:
11 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will even do [06213] according to thine anger [0639], and according to thine envy [07068] which thou hast used [06213] out of thy hatred [08135] against them; and I will make myself known [03045] among them, when I have judged [08199] thee.
12 And thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have heard [08085] all thy blasphemies [05007] which thou hast spoken [0559] against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], They are laid desolate [08074] [08077], they are given [05414] us to consume [0402].
13 Thus with your mouth [06310] ye have boasted [01431] against me, and have multiplied [06280] your words [01697] against me: I have heard [08085] them.
14 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When the whole earth [0776] rejoiceth [08055], I will make [06213] thee desolate [08077].
15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
14 And I will lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon Edom [0123] by the hand [03027] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: and they shall do [06213] in Edom [0123] according to mine anger [0639] and according to my fury [02534]; and they shall know [03045] my vengeance [05360], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
20 In his days [03117] Edom [0123] revolted [06586] from under the hand [03027] of Judah [03063], and made [04427] a king [04428] over themselves.
1 Now these are the generations [08435] of Esau [06215], who is Edom [0123].
12 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because that Edom [0123] hath dealt [06213] against the house [01004] of Judah [03063] by taking [05358] vengeance [05359], and hath greatly [0816] offended [0816], and revenged [05358] himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Edom [0123], and will cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it; and I will make [05414] it desolate [02723] from Teman [08487]; and they of Dedan [01719] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719].
14 And I will lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon Edom [0123] by the hand [03027] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: and they shall do [06213] in Edom [0123] according to mine anger [0639] and according to my fury [02534]; and they shall know [03045] my vengeance [05360], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
18 And Edom [0123] shall be a possession [03424], Seir [08165] also shall be a possession [03424] for his enemies [0341]; and Israel [03478] shall do [06213] valiantly [02428].
1 Moreover the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], set [07760] thy face [06440] against mount [02022] Seir [08165], and prophesy [05012] against it,
3 And say [0559] unto it, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O mount [02022] Seir [08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] against thee, and I will make [05414] thee most [04923] desolate [08077].
4 I will lay [07760] thy cities [05892] waste [02723], and thou shalt be desolate [08077], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]:
6 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will prepare [06213] thee unto blood [01818], and blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee: sith [0518] thou hast not hated [08130] blood [01818], even blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee.
7 Thus will I make [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] most [08077] desolate [08077], and cut off [03772] from it him that passeth out [05674] and him that returneth [07725].
8 And I will fill [04390] his mountains [02022] with his slain [02491] men: in thy hills [01389], and in thy valleys [01516], and in all thy rivers [0650], shall they fall [05307] that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719].
9 I will make [05414] thee perpetual [05769] desolations [08077], and thy cities [05892] shall not return [07725] [03427]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
10 Because thou hast said [0559], These two [08147] nations [01471] and these two [08147] countries [0776] shall be mine, and we will possess [03423] it; whereas the LORD [03068] was there:
11 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will even do [06213] according to thine anger [0639], and according to thine envy [07068] which thou hast used [06213] out of thy hatred [08135] against them; and I will make myself known [03045] among them, when I have judged [08199] thee.
12 And thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have heard [08085] all thy blasphemies [05007] which thou hast spoken [0559] against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], They are laid desolate [08074] [08077], they are given [05414] us to consume [0402].
13 Thus with your mouth [06310] ye have boasted [01431] against me, and have multiplied [06280] your words [01697] against me: I have heard [08085] them.
14 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When the whole earth [0776] rejoiceth [08055], I will make [06213] thee desolate [08077].
15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Two [08147] nations [01471] are in thy womb [0990], and two manner [08147] of people [03816] shall be separated [06504] from thy bowels [04578]; and the one people [03816] shall be stronger [0553] than the other people [03816]; and the elder [07227] shall serve [05647] the younger [06810].
18 And Edom [0123] shall be a possession [03424], Seir [08165] also shall be a possession [03424] for his enemies [0341]; and Israel [03478] shall do [06213] valiantly [02428].
17 But upon mount [02022] Zion [06726] shall be deliverance [06413], and there shall be holiness [06944]; and the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall possess [03423] their possessions [04180].
12 That they may possess [03423] the remnant [07611] of Edom [0123], and of all the heathen [01471], which are called [07121] by my name [08034], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] that doeth [06213] this.
8 Flee [05127] ye, turn back [06437], dwell [03427] deep [06009], O inhabitants [03427] of Dedan [01719]; for I will bring [0935] the calamity [0343] of Esau [06215] upon him, the time [06256] that I will visit [06485] him.
3 And Jokshan [03370] begat [03205] Sheba [07614], and Dedan [01719]. And the sons [01121] of Dedan [01719] were Asshurim [0805], and Letushim [03912], and Leummim [03817].
7 And the sons [01121] of Cush [03568]; Seba [05434], and Havilah [02341], and Sabtah [05454], and Raamah [07484], and Sabtecha [05455]: and the sons [01121] of Raamah [07484]; Sheba [07614], and Dedan [01719].
12 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Teman [08487], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Bozrah [01224].
1 By the rivers [05104] of Babylon [0894], there we sat down [03427], yea, we wept [01058], when we remembered [02142] Zion [06726].
2 We hanged [08518] our harps [03658] upon the willows [06155] in the midst [08432] thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive [07617] required [07592] of us a song [01697] [07892]; and they that wasted [08437] us required of us mirth [08057], saying, Sing [07891] us one of the songs [07892] of Zion [06726].
4 How shall we sing [07891] the LORD'S [03068] song [07892] in a strange [05236] land [0127]?
5 If I forget [07911] thee, O Jerusalem [03389], let my right hand [03225] forget [07911] her cunning.
6 If I do not remember [02142] thee, let my tongue [03956] cleave [01692] to the roof of my mouth [02441]; if I prefer [05927] not Jerusalem [03389] above my chief [07218] joy [08057].
7 Remember [02142], O LORD [03068], the children [01121] of Edom [0123] in the day [03117] of Jerusalem [03389]; who said [0559], Rase [06168] it, rase [06168] it, even to the foundation [03247] thereof.
8 O daughter [01323] of Babylon [0894], who art to be destroyed [07703]; happy [0835] shall he be, that rewardeth [07999] thee as thou hast served [01580] [01576] us.
9 Happy [0835] shall he be, that taketh [0270] and dasheth [05310] thy little ones [05768] against the stones [05553].
12 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because that Edom [0123] hath dealt [06213] against the house [01004] of Judah [03063] by taking [05358] vengeance [05359], and hath greatly [0816] offended [0816], and revenged [05358] himself upon them;
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]:
11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Edom [0123], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue [07291] his brother [0251] with the sword [02719], and did cast off [07843] all pity [07356], and his anger [0639] did tear [02963] perpetually [05703], and he kept [08104] his wrath [05678] for ever [05331]:
11 In the day [03117] that thou stoodest [05975] on the other side, in the day [03117] that the strangers [02114] carried away captive [07617] his forces [02428], and foreigners [05237] entered [0935] into his gates [08179], and cast [03032] lots [01486] upon Jerusalem [03389], even thou wast as one [0259] of them.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh [06547] with his mighty [01419] army [02428] and great [07227] company [06951] make [06213] for him in the war [04421], by casting up [08210] mounts [05550], and building [01129] forts [01785], to cut off [03772] many [07227] persons [05315]:
14 And I will lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon Edom [0123] by the hand [03027] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: and they shall do [06213] in Edom [0123] according to mine anger [0639] and according to my fury [02534]; and they shall know [03045] my vengeance [05360], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Edom [0123], and will cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it; and I will make [05414] it desolate [02723] from Teman [08487]; and they of Dedan [01719] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719].
12 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because that Edom [0123] hath dealt [06213] against the house [01004] of Judah [03063] by taking [05358] vengeance [05359], and hath greatly [0816] offended [0816], and revenged [05358] himself upon them;
