MESSAGE AGAINST EDOM
Concerning Edom, thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel destroyed from the discerning? Is their wisdom spread thin? 8 Flee you, face back, settle deep, O settlers of Dedan; for I bring the calamity of Esav on him at the time I visit him. 9 If clippers come to you, leave they not the gleanings? If thieves by night, they ruin until they satiate. 10 For I - I strip Esav; I expose his coverts; and he cannot hide himself: his seed is ravaged - with his brothers and his fellow tabernaclers - and he is not. 11 Leave your orphans, I enliven them; - and your widows. Trust me! 12 For thus says Yah Veh: Behold, they whose judgment is to not drink of the cup in drinking, they drink; and are you he, who in exonerating, is exonerated? You are not exonerated, but in drinking, you drink thereof. 13 For I oath by myself - an oracle of Yah Veh that Bozrah becomes a desolation, a reproach, a parch, and an abasement - and all the cities eternal parched areas. 14 I hear a report from Yah Veh, and an ambassador is sent to the goyim, Gather yourselves and come against her and rise to the war. 15 For, behold, I give you, small among the goyim and despised among humanity: 16 your trembling deceives you - and the arrogance of your heart, O you who tabernacle in the clefts of the rock - who apprehend the height of the hill: though you heighten your nest as high as the eagle, I bring you down from there - an oracle of Yah Veh. 17 Also Edom becomes a desolation: every one who passes by astonishes and hisses at all the wounds. 18 As the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah and the nearby tabernacles, says Yah Veh, neither man settles there nor a son of humanity sojourns therein. 19 Behold, he ascends as a lion from the pomp of Yarden against the habitation of rest of the perennial: and in a blink, I run him away from her: and who is chosen, that I oversee her? For who is like me? And who congregates with me? And who is that tender standing at my face? 20 So hear the counsel of Yah Veh, that he counsels against Edom; and the fabrications he fabricates against the settlers of Teman: surely the lesser of the flock drag them out: surely he desolates their habitations of rest with them. 21 The earth quakes at the voice of their fall; - the cry - the voice is heard in the Reed sea. 22 Behold, he ascends and flies as the eagle and spreads his wings over Bozrah: and at that day, the heart of the mighty of Edom become as the heart of a woman in her tribulating.
