As a genetic people, the descendants of Esau are lost to history.
Their DNA lives on in some sense, but they are so intermixed with other peoples that there is no definable group of Edomites today.
When Isaiah or other prophets mention Edom in connection with future judgment such as in Isaiah 34 or 63), they are mentioned because they represent the nations that hate Israel and Israel's God, it's sort of a back hand.

They were wiped out as a people.
See Obadiah 1:8-18.
Hopefully this helps.
God bless.
