7. All your allies will force you from your homeland!Your treaty partners will deceive you and overpower you.Your trusted friends will set an ambush for youthat will take you by surprise!
8. At that time,” the Lord says,“I will destroy the wise sages of Edom!the advisers from Esau’s mountain!
9. Your warriors will be shattered, O Teman,so that everyone will be destroyed from Esau’s mountain!
10. “Because you violently slaughtered your relatives, the people of Jacob,shame will cover you, and you will be destroyed forever.
11. You stood aloof while strangers took his army captive,and foreigners advanced to his gates.When they cast lots over Jerusalem,you behaved as though you were in league with them.
