Violence

Jacob answered his mother Rebekah, “Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man and I am a smooth man.

From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom: “Thus your brother Israel has said, ‘You know all the hardship that has befallen us;

For they have

conspired together with one mind;

Against You they make a covenant:

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it

To its very foundation.”

Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
Who dwells in the land of Uz;
But the cup will come around to you as well,
You will become drunk and make yourself naked.

‘Thus says the Lord God, “Because Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has incurred grievous guilt, and avenged themselves upon them,”

Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the

punishment of the end,

Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Edom and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because he pursued his brother with the sword,
While he stifled his compassion;
His anger also tore continually,
And he maintained his fury forever.

Shame

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;

Dishonor has covered my face.

You have shortened the days of his youth;
You have covered him with shame. Selah.

Let my accusers be clothed with dishonor,

And let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

“His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon himself his crown shall shine.”

Let us lie down in our shame, and let our humiliation cover us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day. And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”

We are ashamed because we have heard reproach;

Disgrace has covered our faces,
For aliens have entered
The holy places of the Lord’s house.

They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

Then my enemy will see,
And shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will look on her;

At that time she will be trampled down

Like mire of the streets.

And

For I have sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah will become an object of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.”

therefore thus says the Lord God, “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you.

but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.”

General references

The Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
