3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle and though thou set thy nest among the stars, from there I will bring thee down, said the Lord.
5 Did thieves come to thee, or robbers by night? (how art thou destroyed!) would they not have stolen until they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How were the things of Esau searched out! His hidden things were sought after!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee and prevailed against thee; those that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee; there is no intelligence in this.
8 Shall I not in that day, said the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom and intelligence out of the mount of Esau?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed because every man shall be cut off from mount of Esau by the slaughter.
