Psa 83:5-15, Isa 34, 63:1-6, Jer 49:7-22, Eze 25:12-14, Eze 35 | ESV | STEP | For they conspire with one accord ; against you they make a covenant

5 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6 the tents of ^aEdom and ^bthe Ishmaelites,
^cMoab and ^dthe Hagrites,
7 ^eGebal and ^fAmmon and ^gAmalek,
^hPhilistia with the inhabitants of ⁱTyre;
8 ^jAsshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of ^kthe children of Lot. Selah
9 Do to them as you did to ^lMidian,
as to ^mSisera and Jabin at ⁿthe river Kishon,
10 who were destroyed at ^oEn-dor,
who became ^pdung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like ^qOreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like ^rZebah and Zalmunna,
12 who said, ^s“Let us take possession for ourselves
of the pastures of God.”
13 O my God, make them like ^twhirling dust, ^{▼▼Or like a tumbleweed}
like ^vchaff before the wind.
14 As ^wfire consumes the forest,
as the flame ^xsets the mountains ablaze,
15 so may you pursue them ^ywith your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane!

Isaiah 34

Judgment on the Nations

1 Draw near, ^zO nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has ^aadevoted them to destruction, ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verse 5} has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and ^acthe stench of their corpses shall rise;
^adthe mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 ^aeAll the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon ^afEdom,
upon the people ^agI have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
^ahFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 ^aiWild oxen shall ^ajfall with them,
and ^akyoung steers with ^althe mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 ^amFor the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 ^anAnd the streams of Edom ^{▼▼Hebrew her streams} shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day ^apit shall not be quenched;
^aqits smoke shall go up forever.
^arFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 ^asBut the hawk and the porcupine ^{▼▼The identity of the animals rendered hawk and porcupine is uncertain} shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
^auHe shall stretch the line of ^avconfusion ^{▼▼Hebrew formlessness} over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 ^axThorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of ^ayjackals,
an abode for ostriches. ^{▼▼Or owls}
14 ^baAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird ^{▼▼Identity uncertain} settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there ^bcthe hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 ^bdHe has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

Isaiah 63:1-6

The Lord’s Day of Vengeance

1 Who is this who comes from ^beEdom,
in crimsoned garments from ^bfBozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
^bgmarching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
2 Why is your ^bhapparel red,
and your garments like his ^biwho treads in the winepress?
3 ^bj“I have trodden the winepress alone,
^bkand 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 ^bmFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption ^{▼▼Or the year of my redeemed} had come.
5 I looked, but ^bothere 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.
6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
^bpI made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

Jeremiah 49:7-22

Judgment on Edom

7 Concerning ^bqEdom.

Thus says the Lord of hosts:

^br“Is wisdom no more in ^bsTeman?
^btHas counsel perished from the prudent?
^buHas their wisdom vanished?
8 ^bvFlee, turn back, dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of ^bwDedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
^bxthe time when I punish him.
9 ^byIf grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave ^bzgleanings?
^caIf thieves came by night,
would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
10 ^cbBut I have stripped Esau bare;
^ccI have uncovered his hiding places,
and he is not able to conceal himself.
His children are destroyed, and his brothers,
and his neighbors; and ^cdhe is no more.
11 ^ceLeave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive;
^cfand let your widows trust in me.”
12 For thus says the Lord: ^cg“If those who did not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, ^chwill you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you must drink. 13 ^ciFor I have sworn by myself, declares the Lord, that ^cjBozrah shall become ^cka horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.”

14 ^clI have heard a message from the Lord,
and an envoy has been sent among the nations:
^cm“Gather yourselves together and come against her,
and rise up for battle!
15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations,
despised among mankind.
16 The 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 ^comake your nest as high as the eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there,

declares the Lord.
17 ^cp“Edom shall become a horror. ^cqEveryone who passes by it will be horrified ^crand will hiss because of all its disasters. 18 ^csAs when Sodom and Gomorrah and their ^ctneighboring cities were overthrown, says the Lord, ^cuno man shall dwell there, ^cvno man shall sojourn in her. 19 ^cwBehold, ^cxlike a lion coming up from ^cythe jungle of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make him ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac them} run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. ^daFor who is like me? ^dbWho will summon me? ^dcWhat shepherd can stand before me? 20 Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against ^ddEdom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of ^deTeman: ^dfEven the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 21 At the sound of their fall ^dgthe earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea. 22 Behold, ^dhone shall mount up and fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against ^diBozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom shall be in that day like the heart ^djof a woman in her birth pains.”

Ezekiel 25:12-14

Prophecy Against Edom

12 “Thus says the Lord God: Because ^dkEdom acted revengefully against the house of Judah and has grievously offended ^dlin taking vengeance on them, 13 therefore thus says the Lord God, ^dmI will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it man and beast. And I will make it desolate; from ^dnTeman even to ^doDedan they shall fall by the sword. 14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom ^dpby the hand of my people Israel, and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath, and ^dqthey shall know my vengeance, declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 35

Prophecy Against Mount Seir

1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 ^dr“Son of man, ^dsset your face ^dtagainst ^duMount Seir, and prophesy against it, 3 and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: ^dvBehold, I am against you, Mount Seir, and ^dwI will stretch out my hand against you, ^dxand I will make you a desolation and a waste. 4 ^dyI will lay your cities waste, and you shall become a desolation, and you shall know that I am the Lord. 5 Because ^dzyou cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword ^eaat the time of their calamity, ^ebat the time of their final punishment, 6 therefore, ^ecas I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; ^edbecause you did not hate bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you. 7 ^eeI will make Mount Seir a waste ^efand a desolation, and I will cut off from it ^egall who come and go. 8 And I will fill ^ehits mountains with the slain. On your hills and in your valleys and in all ^eiyour ravines ^ejthose slain with the sword shall fall. 9 ^ekI will make you a perpetual desolation, and ^elyour cities shall not be inhabited. Then ^emyou will know that I am the Lord.

10 “Because you said, ^en‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and ^eowe will take possession of them’—although the ^epLord was there— 11 therefore, ^eqas I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you ^eraccording to the anger and ^esenvy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And ^etI will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.

^eu“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; ^evthey are given us to devour.’ 13 And ^ewyou magnified yourselves against me ^exwith your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: ^eyWhile the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you ^ezrejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, ^faMount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then ^fbthey will know that I am the Lord.
