8. The Lord says, “On that dayI will surely destroy the wise people from Edom,and those with understanding from the mountains of Edom.
9. Then, city of Teman, your best warriors will be afraid,and everyone from the mountains of Edom will be killed.
10. You did violence to your relatives, the Israelites,so you will be covered with shameand destroyed forever.
11. You stood aside without helpingwhile strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.When foreigners entered Israel’s city gateand threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would take,you were like one of them.
12. “Edom, do not laugh at your brother Israel in his time of troubleor be happy about the people of Judah when they are destroyed.Do not brag when cruel things are done to them.
13. Do not enter the city gate of my peoplein their time of troubleor laugh at their problemsin their time of trouble.Do not take their treasuresin their time of trouble.
14. Do not stand at the crossroadsto destroy those who are trying to escape.Do not capture those who escape alive and turn them over to their enemyin their time of trouble.
