17 “And Eʹdom must become an object of astonishment.+ Everyone passing along by her will stare in astonishment and whistle on account of all her plagues.+

18 Just as in the overthrow of Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and her neighbor [towns],”+ Jehovah has said, “no man will dwell there, and no son of mankind* will reside in her as an alien.+

13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “I will also stretch out my hand against Eʹdom+ and cut off from it man* and domestic animal,+ and I will make it a devastated place from Teʹman,+ even to Deʹdan.+ By the sword they will fall.

4 “Because Eʹdom* keeps saying, ‘We have been shattered, but we shall return and build [the] devastated places,’ this is what Jehovah of armies* has said, ‘They, for their part, will build; but I, for my part, shall tear down.+ And people will certainly call them “the territory* of wickedness” and “the people whom Jehovah has denounced+ to time indefinite.”
