Once again the Edomites had come and invaded Judah and taken captives,
So Edom kept rebelling from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah also revolted at the same time.
In his days Edom rebelled against Judah’s rule and set up a king over themselves.
Behold, for this our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, daughters and wives are in captivity.
Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because Edom has taken severe vengeance against the house of Judah and has grievously offended by taking revenge upon them,
“If you, in spite of these things, will not listen to Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
Thus says Adonai: For three crimes of Edom even for four, I will not relent. For he pursued his brother with a sword and stifled his compassion. For his anger tore continually, and he kept his wrath forever.
“Because of your violence to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
