7To Edom: Thus says the LORD of Hosts: Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Counsel has perished from those who understand; their wisdom has been overrun.8Flee, turn back, make your dwelling deep, O inhabitants of Dedan, for I have brought calamity upon Esau at the time when I reckoned with him.9If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, would they not destroy only what suffices them?10For I have stripped Esau bare; I have uncovered his hiding places, and he will not be able to hide himself. His seed is ruined, and his brothers and his neighbors, and he is no more.11Leave your orphans; I will preserve their lives, and let your widows trust in me.12For thus says the LORD: Behold, those who have no right to drink the cup will certainly drink it, and you yourself will certainly be cleared; you will not be cleared, for you will certainly drink.13For I swore by myself, declares the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a horror, a reproach, a desolation, and a curse, and all her cities shall become perpetual desolations.14I have heard a report from the LORD, and an envoy has been sent among the nations: Assemble yourselves and come against her, and rise up for battle.15For behold, I have made you small among the nations, despised among mankind.16The terror you inspire has deceived you, the arrogance of your heart, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who seize the height of the hill; though you make your nest as high as the eagle's, I will bring you down from there, declares the LORD.17Edom shall become an object of horror; everyone who passes by her will be appalled and will hiss at all her wounds.18As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns were overthrown, says the LORD, no one shall dwell there, nor shall any human being sojourn in her.19Behold, like a lion coming up from the pride of the Jordan to a strong pasture, I will suddenly disturb him and drive him away from her; and who is the chosen one I will appoint over her? For who is like me, and who will summon me, and who is this shepherd that can stand before me?20Therefore hear the counsel that the LORD has purposed against Edom and the plans that he has devised against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away; surely their pasture shall be made desolate over them.21At the sound of their fall the earth trembled; their cry was heard as far as the Red Sea.22Behold, like an eagle one shall come up and fly and spread his wings over Bozrah, and the heart of Edom's mighty men shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in distress.
