7. Concerning Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts:Is there no more wisdom in Teman,has counsel perished from the prudent,is their wisdom gone?
8. Flee, retreat, hide deep for lodging,inhabitants of Dedan:For I bring disaster upon Esauwhen I come to punish them.
9. If vintagers came upon you,they would leave no gleanings;If thieves by night,they would destroy as they pleased.
10. So I myself will strip Esau;I will uncover his lairs so he cannot hide.Offspring and family are destroyed,neighbors, too; he is no more.
11. Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;your widows, let them trust in me.
12. For thus says the Lord: Look, even those not sentenced to drink the cup must drink it! Shall you then go unpunished? You shall not! You shall drink every bit of it!
