Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation that dwells without care, saith the LORD, which has neither gates nor bars, which dwells alone.

But it shall come to pass in the last of the days that I will turn again the captivity of Elam, said the LORD.

Thus hath the Lord GOD said: Thus shall the whole earth rejoice when I shall make thee desolate. As thou didst rejoice upon the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee; thou shalt be desolate, O Mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
