This animosity is documented throughout the Old Testament, including in <a href="/genesis/25-23.htm">Genesis 25:23</a> and <a href="/numbers/20-14.htm">Numbers 20:14-21</a>. Edom's hostility towards Israel is further highlighted in Obadiah, where Edom is condemned for its actions during the Babylonian invasion of Jerusalem. God's vengeance on Edom is a fulfillment of His promise to judge nations that oppose His people.by the hand of My people Israel This phrase indicates that God will use Israel as His instrument of judgment against Edom. Historically, this reflects the times when Israel, under divine guidance, acted as an agent of God's justice, as seen in the conquests during the time of Joshua. It underscores the theme of God empowering His people to fulfill His purposes, similar to how He used other nations to discipline Israel when they strayed from His commandments.and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath God's anger and wrath are expressions of His righteous judgment against sin and rebellion. The severity of the punishment reflects the seriousness of Edom's offenses against Israel. This mirrors other instances in the Bible where God's wrath is poured out on nations, such as in <a href="/isaiah/13-9.htm">Isaiah 13:9-13</a> against Babylon. It serves as a reminder of God's holiness and the consequences of opposing His will.Then they will know My vengeance The purpose of God's vengeance is not only punitive but also revelatory. It is meant to demonstrate His sovereignty and justice, leading to the acknowledgment of His power. This echoes the broader biblical theme where God's actions lead to the recognition of His authority, as seen in <a href="/exodus/7-5.htm">Exodus 7:5</a>, where the Egyptians come to know the Lord through the plagues.declares the Lord GOD. This declaration emphasizes the certainty and authority of the prophecy. The use of "Lord GOD" (Yahweh Elohim) underscores the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, highlighting His faithfulness to His promises. It assures the fulfillment of His word, as seen in other prophetic declarations throughout the Bible, such as in <a href="/isaiah/46-9.htm">Isaiah 46:9-11</a>, where God asserts His ability to bring His plans to fruition.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.

Subsequently Herod (who was himself of Idumean origin), as king of the Jews, reigned over them, and their name disappeared from history.Many commentators would see in this prophecy a further intimation of their ultimate conversion and incorporation into the Church; but this seems quite foreign, not only to the scope of this series of prophecies, but especially to the connection, "I will lay my vengeance upon Edom," and "they shall know my vengeance."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/25.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - By the hand of my people Israel: The words received a fulfillment in the conquest of Edom by John Hyrcanus, who compelled its people to receive circumcision (Josephus, 'Ant.,' 13:09. 1). In <a href="/amos/9-12.htm">Amos 9:12</a> its subjugation is connected with the Messianic prophecy that the fallen tabernacle of David should be raised up. There is an obvious emphasis in the repetition of the word vengeance. The law of a Divine retribution will work out its appointed purpose-vengeance to those who sought vengeance. They (the Edomites) shall reap as they have sown, and shall know that the vengeance of Jehovah is more terrible than their own. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will take וְנָתַתִּ֨י (wə·nā·ṯat·tî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set My vengeance נִקְמָתִ֜י (niq·mā·ṯî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5360.htm">Strong's 5360: </a> Avengement on Edom בֶּאֱד֗וֹם (be·’ĕ·ḏō·wm) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_123.htm">Strong's 123: </a> The name of a condiment by the hand בְּיַד֙ (bə·yaḏ) Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand of My people עַמִּ֣י (‘am·mî) Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc and they will deal וְעָשׂ֣וּ (wə·‘ā·śū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make with Edom בֶאֱד֔וֹם (ḇe·’ĕ·ḏō·wm) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_123.htm">Strong's 123: </a> The name of a condiment according to My anger כְּאַפִּ֖י (kə·’ap·pî) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_639.htm">Strong's 639: </a> The nose, nostril, the face, a person, ire and wrath. וְכַחֲמָתִ֑י (wə·ḵa·ḥă·mā·ṯî) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-k | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2534.htm">Strong's 2534: </a> Heat, anger, poison Then they will know וְיָֽדְעוּ֙ (wə·yā·ḏə·‘ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know My vengeance, נִקְמָתִ֔י (niq·mā·ṯî) Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5360.htm">Strong's 5360: </a> Avengement declares נְאֻ֖ם (nə·’um) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5002.htm">Strong's 5002: </a> An oracle the Lord אֲדֹנָ֥י (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord GOD.’ יְהוִֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/25-14.htm">Ezekiel 25:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/25-14.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 25:14 I will lay my vengeance on Edom (Ezek.
