Edom, that is the descendants of Esau, now come in for their ac-count. Never surely was there ever a more bitter hatred and animosity, and that descending from father to son, than what Esau's children manifested against the children of Jacob. But, Reader! the thing is explained to us by the Holy Ghost. Galatians 4:29. Of all wrath that is the greatest. How blessed is it that there is One looking on, and will ultimately reckon for all.
