[Genesis 25:19-34 ESV] {19} These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, {20} and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. {21} And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. {22} The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the LORD. {23} And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” {24} When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. {25} The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. {26} Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. {27} When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. {28} Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. {29} Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. {30} And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) {31} Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” {32} Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” {33} Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. {34} Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

[Obadiah 1:1-21 ESV] {1} The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!” {2} Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised. {3} The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?” {4} Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the LORD. {5} If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night– how you have been destroyed!– would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? {6} How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out! {7} All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you– you have no understanding. {8} Will I not on that day, declares the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? {9} And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter. {10} Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. {11} On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. {12} But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress. {13} Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity. {14} Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress. {15} For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. {16} For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been. {17} But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. {18} The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken. {19} Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. {20} The exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negeb. {21} Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.

[Ezekiel 11:14-21 ESV] {14} And the word of the LORD came to me: {15} “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, all of them, are those of whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far from the LORD; to us this land is given for a possession.’ {16} Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Though I removed them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the countries, yet I have been a sanctuary to them for a while in the countries where they have gone.’ {17} Therefore say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’ {18} And when they come there, they will remove from it all its detestable things and all its abominations. {19} And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, {20} that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. {21} But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

[Ezekiel 34:11-31 ESV] {11} “For thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. {12} As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. {13} And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of the country. {14} I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. {15} I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. {16} I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice. {17} “As for you, my flock, thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and male goats. {18} Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to drink of clear water, that you must muddy the rest of the water with your feet? {19} And must my sheep eat what you have trodden with your feet, and drink what you have muddied with your feet? {20} “Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD to them: Behold, I, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. {21} Because you push with side and shoulder, and thrust at all the weak with your horns, till you have scattered them abroad, {22} I will rescue my flock; they shall no longer be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep. {23} And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. {24} And I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them. I am the LORD; I have spoken. {25} “I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild beasts from the land, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. {26} And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing. {27} And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them. {28} They shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. {29} And I will provide for them renowned plantations so that they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer suffer the reproach of the nations. {30} And they shall know that I am the LORD their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord GOD. {31} And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord GOD.”

[Jeremiah 31:31-34 ESV] {31} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, {32} not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. {33} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. {34} And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

[Romans 11:25-29 ESV] {25} Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. {26} And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; {27} “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” {28} As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. {29} For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
