4 You rebellious Ammonitestrust your wealth and ask,“Who could attack us?”But I warn you not to boastwhen your strength is fading.
5 I, the Lord All-Powerful,will send neighbouring nationsto strike you with terror.You will be scattered,with no one to carefor your refugees.
6 Yet some day, I will bringyour people back home.I, the Lord, have spoken.
7-8 The Lord All-Powerful says about Edom:Wisdom and common sensehave vanished from Teman.I will send disaster to punishyou descendants of Esau,so anyone from Dedanhad better turn roundand run back home.
9 People who harvest grapesleave some for the poor.Thieves who break in at nighttake only what they want.
10 But I will take everythingthat belongs to you,people of Edom,and I will uncover every placewhere you try to hide.Then you will die,and so will your children,relatives, and neighbours.
11 But I can be trustedto care for your orphansand widows.
