Egypt will be a desolation,and Edom will be a desolate wilderness,for the violence done to the children of Judah,because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

The LORD says:"For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four,I will not turn away its punishment;because he pursued his brother with the sword,and cast off all pity,and his anger raged continually,and he kept his wrath forever;

"Won't I in that day", says The LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?

but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness."
