5 "Edom, suppose robbers came to you at night. They would steal only as much as they wanted. Suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines. They would still leave a few grapes. But you are facing horrible trouble!
6 People of Esau, everything will be taken away from you. Your hidden treasures will be stolen.
7 All those who are helping you will force you to leave your country. Your friends will trick you and overpower you. Those who eat bread with you will set a trap for you. But you will not see it."
8 The Lord announces, "At that time I will destroy the wise men of Edom. I will wipe out the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau.
9 People of Teman, your soldiers will be terrified. Everyone in Esau's mountains will be cut down with swords.
10 You did harmful things to your brothers, the people of Jacob. So you will be covered with shame. You will be destroyed forever.
11 Strangers entered the gates of Jerusalem. They cast lots to see what each one would get. They carried off its wealth. When that happened, you just stood there and did nothing. You were like one of them.
