Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thys is the visyon that was shewed vnto Abdy. Thus hath the Lord God spoken vpon Edom: We haue hearde of the Lorde that there is an embassage sent amonge the Heathen: Up let vs aryse, and fyght agaynst them. ² Beholde, I wyll make the small amonge the Heathen, so that thou shalt be vterly despysed. ³ The pryde of thyne herte hath lyft the vp thou that dwellest in the stronge holdes of stone, & hast made the an hye seate: Thou sayest in thyne hert: who shall cast me downe to the grounde? ⁴ But though thou wentest vp as hye as the Aegle, and madest thy nest aboue amonge the starres: yet wolde I plucke the downe from thence. ⁵ Yf the theues and robbers came to the by nyght, thou takinge thy rest: shulde they not steale, tyl they had ynough? Yf the grape gatherers came vpon the, wolde they not leaue the some grapes? ⁶ But how shall they rype Esau, and seke out hys treasures? ⁷ Yee, the men that were sworne vnto the, shal dryue the out of the borders of thyne awne lande. They that be now at one wt the, shall disceaue the, and ouercome the: Euen they that eate thy bred, shal betraye the, or euer thou perceaue it. ⁸ Shall not I at the same tyme destroye the wyse men of Edom, and those that haue vnderstandyng, from the mount of Esau? ⁹ Thy gyauntes (O Theman) shalbe afrayed, for thorow the slaughter they shalbe all ouer throwne vpon the mount of Esau.
