11 Leave the orphans, and I will take care of them.Your widows also can trust in me.”
12 This is what the Lord says: “Some people did not deserve to be punished. But they had to drink from the cup of suffering anyway. People of Edom, you deserve to be punished. So you will not escape punishment. You must drink from the cup of suffering.”
13 The Lord says, “I make this promise in my own name. The city of Bozrah will become a pile of ruins! People will be shocked by what happened there. People will insult that city and speak evil of it. And all the towns around Bozrah will become ruins forever.”
14 I have heard a message from the Lord.A messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,“Gather your armies to attack it!Get ready for battle!”
15 “Soon I will make you the smallest of nations!You will be greatly hated.
16 Edom, you frightened other nations.Your pride has fooled you.You live in the hollow places of the cliff.You live on the high places of the hills.Even if you build your home as high as an eagle’s nest,I will bring you down from there!” says the Lord.
17 “Edom will be destroyed.People will be shocked to see the destroyed cities.They will be amazed at the injuries.
