“I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.”
therefore, as I live, declares the Lord God, I will prepare you for blood, and blood shall pursue you; since you did not hate bloodshed, bloodshed shall pursue you, establishing that Edom's violence toward Israel will rebound upon herself. The metaphor of blood pursuing suggests divine retribution—the same violence she inflicted returns upon her.
