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.
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.
