We have heardH8085 H854 a messageH8052 from the LORDH3068;an envoyH6735 has been sentH7971 among the nationsH1471to say, “Rise upH6965,and let us goH6965 to battleH4421 against herH5921!”—

2“BeholdH2009, I will make youH5414 smallH6996 among the nationsH1471;youH859 will be deeplyH3966 despisedH959.3The prideH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceived youH5377,O dwellersH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rocksH5553 1whose habitation isH7675 the heightsH4791,who sayH559 in your heartH3820,‘WhoH4310 can bring me downH3381 to the groundH776?’4ThoughH518 you soarH1361 like the eagleH5404 H518and makeH7760 your nestH7064 amongH996 the starsH3556,even from thereH8033 I will bring you downH3381,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.5“IfH518 thievesH1590 cameH935 to you,ifH518 robbersH7703 by nightH3915—oh, howH349 you will be ruinedH1820—would they notH3808 stealH1589 only what they wantedH1767?IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 cameH935 to you,would they notH3808 leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6But howH349 EsauH6215 will be pillagedH2664,his hidden treasuresH4710 sought outH1158!7AllH3605 the menH582 allied with youH1285will driveH7971 you toH5704 the borderH1366;the menH582 at peace with youH7965will deceiveH5377 and overpowerH3201 you.Those who eat your breadH3899 2will setH7760 a trapH4204 for youH8478without yourH369 awarenessH8394 of it.8In thatH1931 dayH3117, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,will I notH3808 destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men of EdomH123and the men of understandingH8394in the mountainsH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your mighty menH1368, O TemanH8487,will be terrifiedH2865,so thatH4616 everyoneH376 in the mountainsH2022 of EsauH6215will be cut downH3772 in the slaughterH6993.
