4. Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down.This is the Lord’s declaration.
5. If thieves came to you, if marauders by night —how ravaged you would be! —wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?If grape pickers came to you,wouldn’t they leave some grapes?
6. How Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures searched out!
7. Everyone who has a treaty with you will drive you to the border;everyone at peace with youwill deceive and conquer you.Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you.He will be unaware of it.
8. In that day —this is the Lord’s declaration —will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom and those who understandfrom the hill country of Esau?
9. Teman, your warriors will be terrifiedso that everyone from the hill country of Esauwill be destroyed by slaughter.
10. You will be covered with shameand destroyed foreverbecause of violence done to your brother Jacob.
