10 But I will strip everything away from Esau's people. I will uncover their hiding places. They will not be able to hide anywhere. Their children, relatives and neighbors will die. Then Esau's people will be gone.
11 Leave your children whose fathers have died. I will watch over them. Your widows can also trust in me."
12 The Lord says, "What if those who do not have to drink the cup must drink it anyway? Then shouldn't you be punished? You will certainly be punished. You must drink the cup.
13 I make a promise with an oath in my own name. Bozrah will be destroyed," announces the Lord. "People will be shocked at it. They will bring shame on it. They will call down curses on it. And all of its towns will be destroyed forever."
14 I've heard a message from the Lord. A messenger was sent to the nations. The Lord told him to say, "Gather yourselves together to attack Edom! Prepare for battle!"
15 The Lord says to Edom, "I will make you weak among the nations. They will look down on you.
16 You live in the safety of the rocks. You live on top of the hills. But the terror you stir up has now turned against you. Your proud heart has tricked you. You build your nest as high as an eagle does. But I will bring you down from there," announces the Lord.
