4 Though you ascend high like the eagle,and though you set your nest among the stars,I will bring you down from there,says the Lord.
5 If thieves came to you,if robbers by night—how you have been destroyed!—would they not steal only what they want?If grape gatherers come to you,would they not leave gleanings?
6 How the things of Esau have been ransacked!How his hidden treasures hunted out!
7 All your confederates have driven you to the border;your allies have deceived and prevailed against you.Those who eat your bread have set a trap for you.You will not detect it.
8 On that day, says the Lord,I will destroy the wise out of Edom,and understanding out of Mount Esau.
9 Your mighty men shall be shattered, OTeman,so that everyone from Mount Esau will be cut off.
10 For the slaughter and the violence done to your brother Jacob,shame shall cover you,and you shall be cut off forever.
