CLV(i)
2 Behold! I have made you small among the nations. Despised are you exceedingly.
3 The arrogance of your heart lures you, O tabernacler in the holes of the crag. A height is his dwelling; he is saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to earth?
4 If you are elevated as the vulture, and if your nest is placed between the stars, thence will I bring you down (averring is Yahweh)."
5 If thieves come to you, if devastators of the night--how you are stilled! Will they not steal their quota? If grape pickers come to you, will they not let clean-gleanings remain?
6 How the things of Esau will be searched! His secluded things will be extruded!
7 Unto your boundary they send you; all the mortals of your covenant lure you, and the mortals bidding you peace will prevail against you--they shall make your bread a malady under you. There is no understanding by it."
8 Will it not be in that day, (averring is Yahweh), that I shall destroy the wise from Edom, and understanding from mount Esau?
9 Your masters, Teman, shall be dismayed, that each man may be cut off from mount Esau by being despatched."
