For the Lord has planned a day of revenge, a time when he will repay Edom for her hostility toward Zion.

Look, a time is coming when everything in your palace and the things your ancestors have accumulated to this day will be carried away to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the Lord.

This is what the Lord says: "At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you; in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people, to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property.

For I looked forward to the day of vengeance, and then payback time arrived.
