“Even destroy the wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau
May be cut off by slaughter.
Edom Mistreated His Brother
Shame shall cover you,
And byou shall be cut off forever.
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
When foreigners entered his gates
And bcast lots for Jerusalem—
Even you were as one of them.
1In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have brejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have1 gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have1 delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
bAs you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your1 reprisal shall return upon your own head.
