• In the last Old Testament book we find God saying that He hated Esau; and one of the Minor Prophets, Obadiah, is entirely occupied with predictions against him. Here we find the same thing, and we are told in verse 8 that vengeance falls upon them in recompence for “the controversy of Zion.” In Zion God elected to have mercy upon Jacob, whereas Edom pursued them with undying hatred, as we see in Psalm 83:3-6. In result, judgments of special severity will fall on the land of Idumea, and the rest of chapter 34 gives us the solemn details of it. (“Isaiah 34” by F.B. Hole)
