4 Even if you fly high like the eagleand make your nest among the stars,I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
5 “You will really be ruined!If thieves came to you,if robbers came by night,they would steal only enough for themselves.If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,they would leave a few behind.
6 But you, Edom, will really lose everything!People will find all your hidden treasures!
7 All the people who are your friendswill force you out of the land.The people who are at peace with youwill trick you and defeat you.Those who eat your bread with you noware planning a trap for you,and you will not notice it.”
8 The Lord says, “On that dayI will surely destroy the wise people from Edom,and those with understanding from the mountains of Edom.
9 Then, city of Teman, your best warriors will be afraid,and everyone from the mountains of Edom will be killed.
10 You did violence to your relatives, the Israelites,so you will be covered with shameand destroyed forever.
