For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.

Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?

10 aBut 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 bhe is no more.
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 bhe is no more.
