Pillage and Slaughter Will Repay Edom’s Cruelty

5 If thieves came to you,

if plunderers by night

—how you have been destroyed!—

would they not steal only what they wanted?

If grape-gatherers came to you,

would they not leave gleanings?

6 How Esau has been pillaged,

his treasures searched out!

7 All your allies have deceived you,

they have driven you to the border;

your confederates have prevailed against you;

those who ate your bread have set a trap for you—

there is no understanding of it.

8 On that day, says the LORD,

I will destroy the wise out of Edom,

and understanding out of Mount Esau.

9 Your warriors shall be shattered, O Teman,

so that everyone from Mount Esau will be cut off.
