13. By myself I have sworn—oracle of the Lord—Bozrah shall become an object of horror, a disgrace, a desolation, and a curse. Bozrah and all its cities shall become ruins forever.
14. I have heard a report from the Lord,a herald has been sent among the nations:“Gather together, move against it,get ready for battle!”
15. I will make you the least among the nations,despised by all people!
16. The terror you spread,the pride of your heart, beguiled you.You denizens of rocks and crevices,occupying towering peaks:Though you build your nest high as the eagle,from there I will bring you down—oracle of the Lord.
17. Edom shall become an object of horror. Passersby recoil in terror, hissing at all its wounds.
18. As when Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighbors were overthrown—oracle of the Lord—no one shall live in it, nor anyone settle there.
