5 If ganavim (thieves) came to thee, if shodedei lailah (robbers by night) - oh how art thou cut off! --would they not have stolen only till they had enough? If the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How is Esau searched out! How are his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All the men of thy alliance have forced thee and brought thee even to the border; the anshei shlomecha (the men that were at peace with thee) have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy lechem (bread) have laid a mazor (net, trap) under thee; there is none detecting it.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith Hashem, even destroy the chachamim (wise men) out of Edom, and understanding out of the Har Esav?
9 And thy gibborim (mighty men), O Teman, shall be dismayed and lose courage, to the end that every one of the Har Esav may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy chamas against thy brother Ya'akov, bushah (shame) shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off l'olam (for ever).
11 In the day that thou stood aloof on the other side, in the day that the zarim (strangers) carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Yerushalayim, even thou wast as one of them.
