12. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 13. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14. And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.

Edom. The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, Jacob’s elder brother. The hostility between Israel and Edom goes back to the time that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob (Gen. 25:29-34). Israel had been especially warned not to “abhor an Edomite” (Deut. 23:7). Nevertheless enmity persisted.
