^(B)“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
^(C)Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom ^(D)vanished?
⁸ Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of ^(E)Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
^9 (F)If grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
^10 (G)But I have made Esau bare;
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And ^(H)he is no more.
¹¹ Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive;
And let your widows trust in Me.”

^14 (L)I have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!

¹⁵ “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,
Despised among men.
¹⁶ Your fierceness has deceived you,
The ^(M)pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
^(N)Though you make your ^(O)nest as high as the eagle,
^(P)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

¹⁷ “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
^(Q)Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
^18 (R)As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.

¹⁹ “Behold,^(S) he shall come up like a lion from ^(T)the ^[c]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For ^(U)who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And ^(V)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

^20 (W)Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall ^[d]draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
^21 (X)The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
²² Behold, ^(Y)He shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of ^(A)Edom,
You who dwell in the land of Uz!
^(B)The cup shall also pass over to you
And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his ^(B)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.

¹² “But you should not have ^(E)gazed^[a] on the day of your brother
^[b]In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have ^(F)rejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
¹³ You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have ^[c]gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
¹⁴ You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have ^[d]delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
