2. Look now, I will make you of little importance among the nations;you will be totally despised.
3. Your proud heart has tricked you—you who live in the cracks of the rock,whose dwelling is high above.You who say in your heart,"Who will bring me down to the ground?"
4. Though you soar like the eagle,though your nest is set among the stars,I will bring you down from there,says the Lord.
5. If thieves approach you,if robbers by night—how you’ve been devastated!—wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?If those who gather grapes came to you,wouldn’t they leave some grapes?
6. How Esau has been looted,his treasures taken away!
7. All those who were your allieshave driven you to the border.Those who were on your side tricked youand triumphed over you.They are setting your own bread as a trap under you,but you don’t see it coming.
8. Won’t I on that day, says the Lord, destroy the wise from Edomand understanding from Mount Esau?
9. Your warriors will be shattered, Teman,and everyone from Mount Esau will be eliminated.
10. Because of the slaughter and violence done to your brother Jacob,shame will cover you,and you will be destroyed forever.
11. You stood nearby,strangers carried off his wealth,and foreigners entered his gatesand cast lots for Jerusalem;you too were like one of them.
12. But you should have taken no pleasure over your brotheron the day of his misery;you shouldn’t have rejoiced over the people of Judahon the day of their devastation;you shouldn’t have braggedon their day of hardship.
