¹² This is what the Lord says: “Some people did not deserve to be punished, but they had to drink from the cup [^Cof suffering; 25:15–38; 48:26–28] anyway. You [^Cpeople of Edom] deserve to be punished, so you will not escape punishment. You must certainly drink from the cup.” ¹³ The Lord says, “I swear by ·my own name [^Lmyself] that the city of Bozrah will become a pile of ruins! People will be shocked by what happened there. They will ·insult [reproach] that city and ·speak evil of [curse] it. And all the towns around it will become ruins forever.”
