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.
