8. Turn and flee!Hide in deep caves, you people of Dedan!For when I bring disaster on Edom,I will punish you, too!
9. Those who harvest grapesalways leave a few for the poor.If thieves came at night,they would not take everything.
10. But I will strip bare the land of Edom,and there will be no place left to hide.Its children, its brothers, and its neighborswill all be destroyed,and Edom itself will be no more.
11. But I will protect the orphans who remain among you.Your widows, too, can depend on me for help.”
12. And this is what the lord says: “If the innocent must suffer, how much more must you! You will not go unpunished! You must drink this cup of judgment!
