ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_19 83:5-15
5
For they have conspired with one mind; they form an alliance against You--
6
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
7
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.
8
Even Assyria has joined them; they lend support to the sons of Lot. Selah
9
Deal with them as [You did] with Midian, as [You did] with Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River.
10
They were destroyed at En-dor; they became manure for the ground.
11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12
who said, "Let us seize God's pastures for ourselves."
13
Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like straw before the wind.
14
As fire burns a forest, as a flame blazes through mountains,
15
so pursue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_23 34:1-17
1
You nations, come here and listen; you peoples, pay attention! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that comes from it.
2
The LORD is angry with all the nations-- furious with all their armies. He will set them apart for destruction, giving them over to slaughter.
3
Their slain will be thrown out, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains flow with their blood.
4
All the heavenly bodies will dissolve. The skies will roll up like a scroll, and their stars will all wither as leaves wither on the vine, and foliage on the fig tree.
5
When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens it will then come down on Edom and on the people I have set apart for destruction.
6
The LORD's sword is covered with blood. It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7
The wild oxen will be struck down with them, and young bulls with the mighty bulls. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil will be saturated with fat.
8
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a time of paying back [Edom] for its hostility against Zion.
9
[Edom's] streams will be turned into pitch, her soil into sulfur; her land will become burning pitch.
10
It will never go out-- day or night. Its smoke will go up forever. It will be desolate, from generation to generation; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
11
The desert owl and the hedgehog will possess it, and the great owl and the raven will dwell there. [The LORD] will stretch out a measuring line and a plumb line over her for [her] destruction and chaos.
12
No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
13
Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns; her fortified cities, with thistles and briers. She will become a dwelling for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14
The wild beasts will meet hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. Indeed, the screech owl will stay there and will find a resting place for herself.
15
The sand partridge will make her nest there; she will lay and hatch her eggs and will gather [her brood] under her shadow. Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there, each with its mate.
16
Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of them will be missing, none will be lacking its mate, because He has ordered it by my mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17
He has ordained a lot for them; His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_23 63:1-6
1
Who is this coming from Edom in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah-- this One who is splendid in His apparel, rising up proudly in His great might? It is I, proclaiming vindication, powerful to save.
2
Why is Your clothing red, and Your garments like one who treads a winepress?
3
I trampled the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and ground them underfoot in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.
4
For I planned the day of vengeance, and the year of My redemption came.
5
I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was amazed that no one assisted; so My arm accomplished victory for Me, and My wrath assisted Me.
6
I crushed nations in My anger; I made them drunk with My wrath and poured out their blood on the ground.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_24 49:7-22
7
About Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom rotted away?
8
Run! Turn back! Lie low, residents of Dedan, for I will bring Esau's calamity on him at the time I punish him.
9
If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, they would destroy only what they wanted.
10
But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his secret places. He will try to hide himself, but he will be unable. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors. He will exist no longer.
11
Abandon your orphans; I will preserve them; let your widows trust in Me.
12
"For this is what the LORD says: If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not remain unpunished, for you must drink [it] too.
13
For by Myself I have sworn"-- the LORD's declaration-- "Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will become ruins forever."
14
I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations: Assemble yourselves to come against her. Rise up for war!
15
Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations, despised among humanity.
16
As to the terror you cause, your presumptuous heart has deceived you. You who live in the clefts of the rock, you who occupy the mountain summit, though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down. [This is] the LORD's declaration.
17
"Edom will become a desolation. Everyone who passes by her will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.
18
As when Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors," says the LORD, "no one will live there; no human being will even stay in it as a resident alien.
19
"Look, it will be like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan to the perennially watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Edom away from her [land] in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?"
20
Therefore, hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: The flock's little lambs will certainly be dragged away, and their grazing land will be made desolate because of them.
21
At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; the sound of her cry will be heard at the Red Sea.
22
Look! It will be like an eagle soaring upward, then swooping down and spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_26 25:12-14
12
This is what the Lord God says: "Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah and incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them,
13
therefore this is what the Lord God says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off both man and animal from it. I will make it a wasteland; they will fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan.
14
I will take My vengeance on Edom through My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. So they will know My vengeance." [This is] the declaration of the Lord God.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_26 35:1-15
1
The word of the LORD came to me:
2
"Son of man, turn your face toward Mount Seir and prophesy against it.
3
Say to it: This is what the Lord God says: Look! I am against you, Mount Seir. I will stretch out My hand against you and make you a desolate waste.
4
I will turn your cities into ruins, and you will become a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5
"Because you maintained an ancient hatred and handed over the Israelites to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,
6
therefore, as I live"-- [this is] the declaration of the Lord God-- "I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.
7
I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.
8
I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.
9
I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
10
"Because you said: These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them-- though the LORD was there--
11
therefore, as I live"-- the declaration of the Lord God-- "I will treat [you] according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
12
Then you will know that I, the LORD, have heard all the blasphemies you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying: They are desolate. They have been given to us to devour!
13
You boasted against Me with your mouth, and spoke many words against Me. I heard [it] Myself!
14
"This is what the Lord God says: While the whole world rejoices, I will make you a desolation.
15
Just as you rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it became a desolation, so I will deal with you: you will become a desolation, Mount Seir, and [so will] all Edom in its entirety. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_30 1:11
The LORD says: I will not relent from punishing Edom for three crimes, even four, because he pursued his brother with the sword. He stifled his compassion, his anger tore [at them] continually, and he harbored his rage incessantly.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_30 1:12
Therefore, I will send fire against Teman, and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_31 1:1-16
1
This is what the Lord God has said about Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations: Rise up, and let us go to war against her.
2
Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
3
Your presumptuous heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself: Who can bring me down to the ground?
4
Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down. [This is] the LORD's declaration.
5
If thieves came to you, if marauders by night-- how ravaged you will be!-- wouldn't they steal only what they wanted? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some grapes?
6
How Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures searched out!
7
Everyone who has a treaty with you will drive you to the border; everyone at peace with you will deceive and conquer you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you. He will be unaware of it.
8
In that day-- the LORD's declaration-- will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom and those who understand from the hill country of Esau?
9
Teman, your warriors will be terrified so that everyone from the hill country of Esau will be destroyed by slaughter.
10
You will be covered with shame and destroyed forever because of violence done to your brother Jacob.
11
On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers captured his wealth, while foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.
12
Do not gloat over your brother in the day of his calamity; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boastfully mock in the day of distress.
13
Do not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster. Yes, you-- do not gloat over their misery in the day of their disaster and do not appropriate their possessions in the day of their disaster.
14
Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, and do not hand over their survivors in the day of distress.
15
For the Day of the LORD is near, against all the nations. As you have done, so it will be done to you; what you deserve will return on your own head.
16
For as you have drunk on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp down and be as though they had never been.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_39 1:2-5
2
"I have loved you," says the LORD. But you ask: "How have You loved us?" "Wasn't Esau Jacob's brother?" [This is] the LORD's declaration. "Even so, I loved Jacob,
3
but I hated Esau. I turned his mountains into a wasteland, and [gave] his inheritance to the desert jackals."
4
Though Edom says: "We have been devastated, but we will rebuild the ruins," the LORD of Hosts says this: "They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called a wicked country and the people the LORD has cursed forever.
5
Your own eyes will see this, and you yourselves will say: The LORD is great, [even] beyond the borders of Israel.
ZEFANIABIBLE_BIBLE_BOOK_NAME_45 9:10-13
10
And not only that, but also when Rebekah became pregnant by Isaac our forefather
11
(for though they had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to election might stand,
12
not from works but from the One who calls) she was told: The older will serve the younger.
13
As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
