and some of your young men for ^aNazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”

Edom Will Be Humbled

Thus says the Lord God ^dconcerning Edom:
^eWe have heard a report from the Lord,
and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”
2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
you shall be utterly despised. ^{▼▼Or Behold, I have made you small among the nations; you are utterly despised}
3 ^gThe pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock, ^{▼▼Or Sela}
in your lofty dwelling,
ⁱwho say in your heart,
“Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,

declares the Lord.
5 If ^jthieves came to you,
if plunderers came by night—
how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If ^kgrape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
6 ^lHow Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7 All your allies have driven you to your border;
those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
^mthose who eat your bread ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks those who eat} have set a trap beneath you—
^oyou have ^{▼▼Hebrew he has} no understanding.
8 ^qWill I not on that day, declares the Lord,
destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of ^rMount Esau?
9 And your mighty men shall be dismayed, ^sO Teman,
so that every man from ^tMount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
