3 The pride of your heart has deceived you—you who dwell in mountain crevices,in your lofty home,Who say in your heart,“Who will bring me down to earth?”
4 Though you soar like the eagle,and your nest is set among the stars,From there I will bring you down—oracle of the Lord.
5 If thieves came to you, robbers by night—how you have been destroyed!—would they not steal merely till they had enough?If grape pickers came to you,would they not leave some gleanings?
6 How Esau has been searched out,his treasures hunted down!
7 To the border they have driven you—all your allies;Your partners have deceived you,they have overpowered you;Those who eat your breadwill replace you with foreigners,who have no understanding.
8 On that day—oracle of the Lord—will I notmake the wise disappear from Edom,and understanding from Mount Esau?
9 Teman, your warriors will be terror-stricken,so that everyone on Mount Esau will be cut down.
