2“BeholdH2009, I will makeH5414 you 1smallH6996 among the nationsH1471; You are greatlyH3966 despisedH959.3The 2arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, You who liveH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 3the 4rockH5553, In the loftinessH4791 of your dwellingH7931 placeH7675, Who sayH559 in your heartH3820, ‘5WhoH4310 will bringH3381 me downH3381 to earthH776?’4ThoughH518 you 6buildH1361 highH1361 like the eagleH5404, ThoughH518 you setH7760 your nestH7064 amongH996 the 7starsH3556, From thereH8033 I will bringH3381 you downH3381,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.5“IfH518 8thievesH1590 cameH935 to you, IfH518 9robbersH7703 by nightH3915-- O howH349 you will be ruinedH1820!-- Would they not stealH1589 only 10until they hadH1767 enoughH1767? IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 cameH935 to you, 11Would they not leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6O howH349 EsauH6215 will be 12ransackedH2664, And his hiddenH4710 treasuresH4710 searchedH1158 out!7AllH3605 the 13menH376 14alliedH1285 with you Will sendH7971 you forth to the borderH1366, And the menH376 at peaceH7965 with you Will deceiveH5378 you and overpowerH3201 you. They who eat your 15breadH3899 Will setH7760 an ambushH4204 for you. (ThereH369 is 16noH369 understandingH8394 17in him.)8Will I not on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “18DestroyH6 wiseH2450 menH2450 from EdomH112 And understandingH8394 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your 19mightyH1368 menH1368 will be dismayedH2865, O 20TemanH8487, So that everyoneH376 may be 21cutH3772 offH3772 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215 by slaughterH6993.
10“BecauseH4480 of 22violenceH2555 to your brotherH251 JacobH3290, 23You will be coveredH3680 with shameH955, 24And you will be cutH3772 offH3772 foreverH5769.11On the dayH3117 that you 25stoodH5975 aloofH4480H5048, On the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carriedH7617 offH7617 his wealthH2428, And foreignersH5237 enteredH935 his gateH8179 And 26castH3032 lotsH1486 for JerusalemH3389-- 27You tooH1571 were as oneH259 of them.1228Do not 29gloatH7200 over your brother’sH251 dayH3117, The dayH3117 of his misfortuneH5235. And 30do not rejoiceH8055 over the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 In the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; Yes, 31do not 32boastH1431H6310 In the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.13Do not enterH935 the gateH8179 of My peopleH5971 In the 33dayH3117 of their disasterH343. YesH1571, you, do not 34gloatH7200 over their calamityH7463 In the dayH3117 of their disasterH343. And do not 35lootH7971 their wealthH2428 In the dayH3117 of their disasterH343.14Do not 36standH5975 at the forkH6563 of the roadH6563 To cutH3772 downH3772 their fugitivesH6412; And do not imprisonH5462 their survivorsH8300 In the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.
