4. Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle and though thou set thy nest among the stars, from there I will bring thee down, said the Lord.
5. Did thieves come to thee, or robbers by night? (how art thou destroyed!) would they not have stolen until they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6. How were the things of Esau searched out! His hidden things were sought after!
7. All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee and prevailed against thee; those that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee; there is no intelligence in this.
8. Shall I not in that day, said the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom and intelligence out of the mount of Esau?
9. And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed because every man shall be cut off from mount of Esau by the slaughter.
10. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11. In the day that thou didst stand on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
