LEB(i)
2 "Look, I will* make you insignificant among the nations. You will be utterly despised!
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of a rock, the heights of its dwelling, you who say in your heart: 'Who can bring me down to the ground?'
4 Even if you soar like the eagle, even if your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down!" ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh:
5 "If thieves came to you, if plunderers of the night—How you have been destroyed!—would they not steal ⌊what they wanted⌋?* If grape gatherers came, would they not leave gleanings?
6 How Esau has been pillaged; his treasures have been ransacked!
7 All of your ⌊allies⌋* have driven you up to the boundary; your ⌊confederates⌋* have deceived you and have prevailed against you. Those who eat your bread have set an ambush for you, there is no* understanding of it.*
8 On that day," ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh, "will I not destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 And your warriors will be shattered, O Teman, so that ⌊everyone⌋* from the mountain of Esau will be cut off because of the slaughter!
