- a desolation:
- "Also Edomª shall be¹ a desolation:ª every one¹ that goethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hissª° at¹ all¹ the plaguesª thereof. ... As in the overthrowª of Sodomª and Gomorrahª and the neighbourª [cities] thereof, saithª° the LORD,ª no¹ manª shall abideª° there,¹ neither¹ shall a sonª of manª dwellª° in it." {Jer 49:17-18} + "And the streamsª thereof shall be turnedª° into pitch,ª and the dustª thereof into brimstone,ª and the landª thereof shall become¹ burningª° pitch.ª ... There¹ shall the great owlª make her nest,ª° and lay,ª° and hatch,ª° and gatherª° under her shadow:ª there¹ shall the vulturesª also¹ be gathered,ª° every oneª with her mate.ª" {Isa 34:9-15} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª I will also stretch outª° mine handª upon¹ Edom,ª and will cut offª° manª and beastª from¹ it; and I will makeª° it desolateª from Teman;ª¹ and they of Dedanª shall fallª° by the sword.ª ... And I will layª°¹ my vengeanceª upon Edomª by the handª of my peopleª Israel:ª and they shall doª° in Edomª according to mine angerª and according to my fury;ª and they shall knowª°¹ my vengeance,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 25:13-14} + "Sonª of man,ª setª° thy faceª against¹ mountª Seir,ª and prophesyª° against¹ it, ... As thou didst rejoiceª at the inheritanceª of the houseª of Israel,ª because¹¹ it was desolate,ª° so¹ will I doª° unto thee: thou shalt be¹ desolate,ª O mountª Seir,ª and all¹ Idumea,ª [even] all¹ of it: and they shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Ezk 35:2-15} + "Egyptª shall be¹ a desolation,ª and Edomª shall be¹ a desolateª wilderness,ª for¹ the violenceª [against] the childrenª of Judah,ª because¹ they have shedª° innocentª bloodª in their land.ª" {Jol 3:19} + "And the houseª of Jacobª shall be¹ a fire,ª and the houseª of Josephª a flame,ª and the houseª of Esauª for stubble,ª and they shall kindleª° in them, and devourª° them; and there shall not¹ be¹ [any] remainingª of the houseª of Esau;ª for¹ the LORDª hath spokenª° [it]." {Oba 1:18} + "And I hatedª° Esau,ª and laidª°¹ his mountainsª and his heritageª wasteª for the dragonsª of the wilderness.ª ... Whereas¹ Edomª saith,ª° We are impoverished,ª° but we will returnª° and buildª° the desolate places;ª thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts,ª They¹ shall build,ª° but I¹ will throw down;ª° and they shall callª° them, The borderª of wickedness,ª and, The peopleª against whom¹ the LORDª hath indignationª° for² ever.ª¹" {Mal 1:3-4}
