Ezekiel 33:11

¹¹ Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

Edom

'Edom' or 'Idumea,' as in Isaiah 34:5, signifies people who are in evil and falsities derived there.

34. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 34

9-15 Having been cast down into hell they will abide in horrid falsities and evils to eternity. (15)

16 This has been foretold. (15)

17 It will be otherwise with those who are not such. (11)
