Obadiah 1:3-4
Your presumptuous heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself,“ Who can bring me down to the ground?”Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord’s declaration.

Jeremiah 49:7-16
About Edom, this is what the Lord of Hosts says: Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom rotted away?Run! Turn back! Lie low, residents of Dedan, for I will bring Esau’s calamity on him at the time I punish him.If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, they would destroy only what they wanted.But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his secret places. He will try to hide himself, but he will be unable. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors. He will exist no longer.Abandon your fatherless; I will preserve them; let your widows trust in Me.“ For this is what the Lord says: If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not remain unpunished, for you must drink it too.For by Myself I have sworn”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will become ruins forever.”I have heard a message from the Lord; a messenger has been sent among the nations: Assemble yourselves to come against her. Rise up for war!Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations, despised among humanity.As to the terror you cause, your presumptuous heart has deceived you. You who live in the clefts of the rock, you who occupy the mountain summit, though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord’s declaration.

Isaiah 63:1-6
Who is this coming from Edom in crimson-stained garments from Bozrah— this One who is splendid in His apparel, rising up proudly in His great might? It is I, proclaiming vindication, powerful to save.Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads a winepress?I trampled the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and ground them underfoot in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.For I planned the day of vengeance, and the year of My redemption came.I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was amazed that no one assisted; so My arm accomplished victory for Me, and My wrath assisted Me.I crushed nations in My anger; I made them drunk with My wrath and poured out their blood on the ground.

Psalms 20:6-8
Now I know that the Lord gives victory to His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with mighty victories from His right hand.Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of Yahweh our God.They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand firm.

Psalms 60:1
God, You have rejected us; You have broken out against us; You have been angry. Restore us!
