MESSAGE AGAINST EDOM
Concerning Edom, thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel destroyed from the discerning? Is their wisdom spread thin? 8 Flee you, face back, settle deep, O settlers of Dedan; for I bring the calamity of Esav on him at the time I visit him. 9 If clippers come to you, leave they not the gleanings? If thieves by night, they ruin until they satiate. 10 For I - I strip Esav; I expose his coverts; and he cannot hide himself: his seed is ravaged - with his brothers and his fellow tabernaclers - and he is not. 11 Leave your orphans, I enliven them; - and your widows. Trust me! 12 For thus says Yah Veh: Behold, they whose judgment is to not drink of the cup in drinking, they drink; and are you he, who in exonerating, is exonerated? You are not exonerated, but in drinking, you drink thereof. 13 For I oath by myself - an oracle of Yah Veh that Bozrah becomes a desolation, a reproach, a parch, and an abasement - and all the cities eternal parched areas. 14 I hear a report from Yah Veh, and an ambassador is sent to the goyim, Gather yourselves and come against her and rise to the war. 15 For, behold, I give you, small among the goyim and despised among humanity: 16 your trembling deceives you - and the arrogance of your heart, O you who tabernacle in the clefts of the rock - who apprehend the height of the hill: though you heighten your nest as high as the eagle, I bring you down from there - an oracle of Yah Veh.
