Isaiah 63:1-6

The Lord’s Day of Vengeance

1 Who is this who comes from aEdom,
in crimsoned garments from bBozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
cmarching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
2 Why is your dapparel red,
and your garments like his ewho treads in the winepress?
3 f“I have trodden the winepress alone,
gand from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood
Or  their juice; also verse 6
spattered on my garments,
and stained all my apparel.
4 iFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption
Or the year of my redeemed
had come.
5I looked, but kthere was no one to help;
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
and my wrath upheld me.
6I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
lI made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

Jeremiah 49:7-16

Judgment on Edom

7Concerning mEdom.

Thus says the Lord of hosts:

n“Is wisdom no more in oTeman?
pHas counsel perished from the prudent?
qHas their wisdom vanished?
8 rFlee, turn back, dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of sDedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
tthe time when I punish him.
9 uIf grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave vgleanings?
wIf thieves came by night,
would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
10 xBut I have stripped Esau bare;
yI have uncovered his hiding places,
and he is not able to conceal himself.
His children are destroyed, and his brothers,
and his neighbors; and zhe is no more.
11 aaLeave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive;
aband let your widows trust in me.”
12For thus says the Lord: acIf those who did not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, adwill you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you must drink. 13 aeFor I have sworn by myself, declares the Lord, that afBozrah shall become aga horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.”

14 ahI have heard a message from the Lord,
and an envoy has been sent among the nations:
ai“Gather yourselves together and come against her,
and rise up for battle!
15For behold, I will make you small among the nations,
despised among mankind.
16The horror you inspire has deceived you,
and the pride of your heart,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Or  of Sela

who hold the height of the hill.
Though you akmake your nest as high as the eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there,

declares the Lord.

Obadiah 3-4

3 alThe pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Or Sela

in your lofty dwelling,
anwho say in your heart,
Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,

declares the Lord.
