This is what the Sovereign LORD says about Edom—
We have heard a message from the LORD :
An envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, and let us go against her for battle”-
you will be utterly despised.
you who live in the clefts of the rocks [a]
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”
declares the LORD.
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?
his hidden treasures pillaged!
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, [b]
but you will not detect it.
“will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,
men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
and everyone in Esau’s mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
in the day of his misfortune,
nor rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,
nor boast so much
in the day of their trouble.
in the day of their disaster,
nor look down on them in their calamity
in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
in the day of their disaster.
to cut down their fugitives,
nor hand over their survivors
in the day of their trouble.
for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds will return upon your own head.
so all the nations will drink continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.
it will be holy,
and the house of Jacob
will possess its inheritance.
and the house of Joseph a flame;
the house of Esau will be stubble,
and they will set it on fire and consume it.
There will be no survivors
from the house of Esau.”
The LORD has spoken.
the mountains of Esau,
and people from the foothills will possess
the land of the Philistines.
They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,
and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
will possess the land as far as Zarephath;
the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the towns of the Negev.
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the LORD’s.
