11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. 12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? 13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. 14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.

     15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. 17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. 18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? 19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. 20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.(KJV)

1. Who Is this that comes from Edom, 
All His raiment stained with blood; 
To the captive speaking freedom, 
Bringing and bestowing good; 
Glorious in the garb He wears, 
Glorious in the spoil He bears? 

2. ‘Tis the Savior, now victorious, 
Traveling onward in His might; 
‘Tis the Savior; oh, how glorious 
To His people is the sight! 
Satan conquered and the grave, 
Jesus now is strong to save. 

3. Why that blood His raiment staining? 
‘Tis the blood of many slain; 
Of His foes there’s none remaining, 
None the contest to maintain. 
Fall’n they are, no more to rise; 
All their glory prostrate lies. 

4. Mighty Victor, reign forever, 
Wear the crown so dearly won; 
Never shall Thy people, never, 
Cease to sing what Thou hast done. 
Thou hast fought Thy people’s foes; 
Thou hast healed Thy people’s woes.
