49:14-22
God has sent a call to the nations to attack Edom. They had been a proud nation, and one that inspired terror in other nations. They were not a large powerful nation like Babylon or Assyria, but one that fought by wileyness, but these skills would be of no use to her when the Lord attacked. Like Sodom and Gomorrah, they would be overthrown forever. Boastful and proud she may have been, but her heart would utterly melt.
49:23-27
Damascus had a good reputation, but she would become feeble. Damascus too would be defeated. We see here a whole litany of nations thrown into various degrees of distress, and this is all as a result of God’s judgement upon the nations.
