And though you bset your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
bWould they not have left some gleanings?
Shall force you to the border;
aThe men at peace with you
Shall deceive you and prevail against you.
Those who eat your bread shall lay a1 trap for you.
bNo1 one is aware of it.
“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.
