8. ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord,‘will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9. Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified,and everyone in Esau’s mountainswill be cut down in the slaughter.
10. Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,you will be covered with shame;you will be destroyed for ever.
11. On the day you stood aloofwhile strangers carried off his wealthand foreigners entered his gatesand cast lots for Jerusalem,you were like one of them.
12. You should not gloat over your brotherin the day of his misfortune,nor rejoice over the people of Judahin the day of their destruction,nor boast so muchin the day of their trouble.
13. You should not march through the gates of my peoplein the day of their disaster,nor gloat over them in their calamityin the day of their disaster,nor seize their wealthin the day of their disaster.
14. You should not wait at the crossroadsto cut down their fugitives,nor hand over their survivorsin the day of their trouble.
