Psalm 137:7

O LORD, remember what the Edomites did

    on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.

"Destroy it!" they yelled.

    "Level it to the ground!" 

     

Lamentations 4:21-22

Are you rejoicing in the land of Uz,

    O people of Edom?

But you, too, must drink from the cup of the LORD's anger.

    You, too, will be stripped naked in your drunkenness.

O beautiful Jerusalem, your punishment will end;

    you will soon return from exile.

But Edom, your punishment is just beginning;

    soon your many sins will be exposed.

Jeremiah 44:7-8  

This message was given concerning Edom. This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says:

"Is there no wisdom in Teman?

    Is no one left to give wise counsel?

Turn and flee!

    Hide in deep caves, you people of Dedan!

For when I bring disaster on Edom,

    I will punish you, too!"  (see Jeremiah 49:7-22)

Ezekiel 25:12-14  

"This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The people of Edom have sinned greatly by avenging themselves against the people of Judah. Therefore, says the Sovereign LORD, I will raise my fist of judgment against Edom. I will wipe out its people and animals with the sword. I will make a wasteland of everything from Teman to Dedan. I will accomplish this by the hand of my people of Israel. They will carry out my vengeance with anger, and Edom will know that this vengeance is from me. I, the Sovereign LORD have spoken!" 

Obadiah 1:10-14  

Because of the violence you did

    to your close relatives in Israel,

you will be filled with shame

    and destroyed forever.

When they were invaded,

    you stood aloof, refusing to help them.

Foreign invaders carried off their wealth

    and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem,

    but you acted like one of Israel's enemies.

You should not have gloated

    when they exiled your relatives to distant lands.

You should not have rejoiced

    when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune.

You should not have spoken arrogantly

    in that terrible time of trouble.

You should not have plundered the land of Israel

    when they were suffering such calamity.

You should not have gloated over their destruction

    when they were suffering such calamity. 

You should not have seized their wealth

    when they were suffering such calamity.

You should not have stood at the crossroads,

    killing those who tried to escape.

You should not have captured the survivors

    and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble.  

    (see all Obadiah 1)

Malachi 1:4-5  

    Esau's descendants in Edom may say, "We have been shattered, but we will rebuild the ruins."

    But the LORD of Heaven's Armies replies, "They may try to rebuild, but I will demolish them again. Their country will be known as 'The Land of Wickedness,' and their people will be called, 'The People with Whom the LORD is Forever Angry.' When you see the destruction for yourselves, you will say, 'Truly, the LORD's greatness reaches far beyond Israel's borders.' "  

(see Malachi 1:1-5)
