Ezekiel 25:12-14
New English Translation

A Prophecy Against Edom

12 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Edom[a] has taken vengeance against the house of Judah; they have made themselves fully culpable[b] by taking vengeance[c] on them.[d] 13 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom, and I will kill the people and animals within her,[e] and I will make her desolate; from Teman to Dedan they will die[f] by the sword. 14 I will exact my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel. They will carry out in Edom my anger and rage; they will experience[g] my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
