Bozrah was the chief city of ancient Edom, nestled in the highlands of what is now southern Jordan. It appears in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, and Micah as a symbol of Edomite power and national pride. The prophets declared God's coming judgment on Bozrah, and Isaiah 63 famously pictures the divine warrior returning from its vineyards after executing justice on Israel's enemies.
