4 Though you soar like the eagleand make your nest among the stars,from there I will bring you down,’declares the Lord.
5 ‘If thieves came to you,if robbers in the night –oh, what a disaster awaits you –would they not steal only as much as they wanted?If grape pickers came to you,would they not leave a few grapes?
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies will force you to the border;your friends will deceive and overpower you;those who eat your bread will set a trap for you,but you will not detect it.
8 ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord,‘will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified,and everyone in Esau’s mountainswill be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,you will be covered with shame;you will be destroyed for ever.
