3 The arrogance of your heart has deceived you— living in the clefts of the rock—his dwelling place is lofty, saying in his heart: ‘Who shall bring me down to the earth?’
4 Even if you soar like the eagle, and even if you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down.’” declares Adonai.
5 “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— how ruined you would be!— would they keep stealing after they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning?
6 How Esau will be ransacked, and how his hidden treasures searched out!
7 All your allies will force you to the border. The men that are at peace with you will deceive you and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap under you. (He has no discernment.)
8 In that day,” —declares Adonai— “will I not destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding from the hill country of Esau?
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be shattered—so everyone will be cut off from the hill country of Esau by slaughter.
