6. And so, as surely as I am the living Lord God, you are guilty of murder and must be put to death.
7. I will destroy your nation and kill anyone who travels through it.
8. Dead bodies will cover your mountains and fill up your valleys,
9. and your land will lie in ruins for ever. No one will live in your towns ever again. You will know that I am the Lord.
10. You thought the nations of Judah and Israel belonged to you, and that you could take over their territory. But I am their God,
11. and as surely as I live, I will punish you for treating my people with anger and hatred. Then they will know that I, the Lord, am punishing you!
12. And you will finally realize that I heard you laugh at their destruction and say their land was yours to take.
13. You even insulted me, but I heard it all.
14. Everyone on earth will celebrate when I destroy you,
15. just as you celebrated when Israel was destroyed. Your nation of Edom will be nothing but a wasteland. Then everyone will know that I am the Lord.
