11 Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;your widows, let them trust in me.
12 For thus says the Lord: Look, even those not sentenced to drink the cup must drink it! Shall you then go unpunished? You shall not! You shall drink every bit of it!
13 By myself I have sworn—oracle of the Lord—Bozrah shall become an object of horror, a disgrace, a desolation, and a curse. Bozrah and all its cities shall become ruins forever.
14 I have heard a report from the Lord,a herald has been sent among the nations:“Gather together, move against it,get ready for battle!”
15 I will make you the least among the nations,despised by all people!
16 The terror you spread,the pride of your heart, beguiled you.You denizens of rocks and crevices,occupying towering peaks:Though you build your nest high as the eagle,from there I will bring you down—oracle of the Lord.
17 Edom shall become an object of horror. Passersby recoil in terror, hissing at all its wounds.
