Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom : We have heard a report from Jehovah , and an ambassador is sent among the nations . Arise ye , and let us rise up against her in battle . Behold , I have made thee small among the nations ; thou art greatly despised . The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee , thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock , whose habitation is high ; -- he that saith in his heart , Who shall bring me down to the ground ? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle , and though thou set thy nest among the stars , thence will I bring thee down , saith Jehovah . If thieves had come to thee , if robbers by night , ( how art thou cut off ! ) would they not have stolen [ till ] they had had enough ? If grape-gatherers had come to thee , would they not have left some gleanings ? How is Esau searched ! his hidden things sought out ! All the men of thy confederacy have pushed thee to the border ; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee , they have prevailed against thee ; [ they that eat ] thy bread have laid a snare under thee . There is no understanding in him . Shall I not in that day , saith Jehovah , destroy the wise men out of Edom , and understanding out of the mount of Esau ? And thy mighty men , O Teman , shall be dismayed , to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter . Because of violence against thy brother Jacob , shame shall cover thee , and thou shalt be cut off for ever . In the day that thou stoodest on the other side , in the day that strangers carried away captive his substance , and foreigners entered into his gates , and cast lots upon Jerusalem , even thou wast as one of them . But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster ; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction ; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress . Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity , nor have looked , even thou , on their affliction in the day of their calamity , neither shouldest thou have laid [ hands ] on their substance in the day of their calamity ; and thou shouldest not have stood on the crossway , to cut off those of his that did escape , nor have delivered up those remaining of him in the day of distress . For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations : as thou hast done , it shall be done unto thee : thy recompence shall return upon thine own head . For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain , so shall all the nations drink continually ; yea , they shall drink , and shall swallow down , and they shall be as though they had not been . But upon mount Zion shall there be deliverance , and it shall be holy ; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions . And the house of Jacob shall be a fire , and the house of Joseph a flame , and the house of Esau for stubble ; and they shall kindle in them and devour them ; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau : for Jehovah hath spoken [ it ] . And [ they of ] the south shall possess the mount of Esau ; and they of the lowland the Philistines ; yea , they shall possess the field of Ephraim and the field of Samaria ; and Benjamin [ shall possess ] Gilead ; and the captives of this host of the children of Israel [ shall possess ] what belonged to the Canaanites , unto Zarephath ; and the captives of Jerusalem , who [ were ] in Sepharad , shall possess the cities of the south . And saviours shall come up on mount Zion , to judge the mount of Esau ; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's .
