2“BeholdH2009, I will makeH5414 you 1smallH6996 among the nationsH1471; You areH959 greatlyH3966 despisedH959.3The 2arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, The one who livesH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 3the 4rockH5553, On the heightH4791 of his dwellingH7675 placeH7675, Who saysH559 in his heartH3820, ‘5WhoH4310 will bringH3381 me downH3381 to earthH776?’4ThoughH518 you 6makeH1361 your home 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-- OhH349 howH349 you will be ruinedH1820!-- Would they not stealH1589 only 10until they had enoughH1767? IfH518 grape-pickersH1219 cameH935 to you, 11Would they not leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6OhH349 howH349 EsauH6215 will be 12searchedH2664, And his hiddenH4710 treasuresH4710 searchedH1158 outH1158!7AllH3605 the 13peopleH376 14alliedH1285 with you Will sendH7971 you to the borderH1366, And the peopleH376 at peaceH7965 with you Will deceiveH5378 you and overpowerH3201 you. They who eat your 15breadH3899 Will setH7760 an ambushH4204 for you. (ThereH369 isH369 16noH369 understandingH8394 17in him.)8Will I not on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “18EliminateH6 wiseH2450 menH2450 from EdomH112, And understandingH8394 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your 19warriorsH1368 will be filledH2865 withH2865 terrorH2865, 20TemanH8487, SoH4616 thatH4616 everyoneH376 will be 21eliminatedH3772 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215 by murderH6993.

10“BecauseH4480 of 22violenceH2555 to your brotherH251 JacobH3290, ShameH955 will coverH3680 you, 23And you will be eliminatedH3772 foreverH5769.11On the dayH3117 that you 24stoodH5975 aloofH4480H5048, On the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carriedH7617 offH7617 his wealthH2428, And foreignersH5237 enteredH935 his gateH8179 And 25castH3032 lotsH1486 for JerusalemH3389-- 26You tooH1571 were as oneH259 of them.1227Do not 28gloatH7200 over your brother’sH251 dayH3117, The dayH3117 of his misfortuneH5235. And 29do not rejoiceH8055 over the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 On the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; Yes, 30do not 31boastH1431H6310 On the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.13Do not enterH935 the gateH8179 of My peopleH5971 On the 32dayH3117 of their disasterH343. You indeedH1571, do not 33gloatH7200 over their catastropheH7463 On the dayH3117 of their disasterH343. And do not 34layH7971 a hand on their wealthH2428 On the dayH3117 of their disasterH343.14Do not 35standH5975 at the crossroadsH6563 To eliminateH3772 their survivorsH6412; And do not handH5462 overH5462 their refugeesH8300 On the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.
