Judgment on Edom
7 To Idumea. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Why is wisdom no more in Theman? Counsel is perished from the children: their wisdom is become unprofitable.📜💬📚
8 Fly and turn your backs, go down into the gulf ye inhabitants of Dedan: because I have brought the perdition of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.📜💬📚
9 If the grape gatherers had come upon thee, they had not left a cluster: if thieves in the night, they had taken that should suffice them.📜💬📚
10 But I have discovered Esau, I have revealed his secrets, and he can not be concealed: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be.📜💬📚
11 Leave thy pupils: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me.📜💬📚
12 For thus saith our Lord: Behold they whose judgement was not to drink the cup, drinking shall drink: and shalt thou be left as innocent? Thou shalt not be innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.📜💬📚
13 Because I have sworn by my self, saith our Lord, that Bosra shall be into desolation, & into reproach, and into a desert, and into malediction: and all her cities shall be into everlasting desolations.📜💬📚
14 I have heard a bruit from our Lord, & a legate is sent to the Nations: Gather your selves together, and come against her, and let us rise up into battle.📜💬📚
15 For behold I have made thee a little one in the Gentiles, contemptible among men.📜💬📚
16 Thine arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: which dwellest in the caves of the rock, and endeavourest to apprehend the height of the hill. When thou shalt exalt thy nest as an eagle, thence will I bring thee down, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
17 And Idumea shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, & shall hiss upon all the plagues thereof.📜💬📚
18 As Sodom is overthrown and Gomorrha, and her neighbours saith our Lord: there shall not a man dwell there and there shall no son of man inhabit it.📜💬📚
19 Behold as a lion he shall come up from the pride of Jordan, to the strong beautifulness: because I will make him run suddenly to her: & who shall be a chosen one whom I may appoint over her? For who is like to me? And who shall abide me? And who is this Pastor that can resist my countenance?📜💬📚
20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of our Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his cogitations, which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: If the little ones of the flock shall not cast them down, if they shall not destroy their habitation with them.📜💬📚
21 At the voice of their ruin the earth is moved: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red sea.📜💬📚
22 Behold he shall come up as an eagle, & fly out: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and the heart of the strong of Idumea shall be in that day, as the heart of a woman in travail.📜💬📚
