I will send disaster to punish
    you descendants of Esau,[a]
so anyone from Dedan[b]
had better turn around
    and run back home.[c]
People who harvest grapes
    leave some for the poor.
Thieves who break in at night
    take only what they want.
10 But I will take everything
that belongs to you,
    people of Edom,
and I will uncover every place
    where you try to hide.
Then you will die,
and so will your children,
    relatives, and neighbors.
