“Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.”
The promise that Egypt shall become a desolation and Edom a desolate wilderness indicates the judgment extending to nations beyond those explicitly mentioned, that all who have opposed Judah will be judged. The reference to violence against the people of Judah indicates the basis for judgment. This verse extends the judgment to include all oppressor nations.
