In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom(A)
and those who understand
from the hill country of Esau?
Teman,[a](B) your warriors(C) will be terrified
so that everyone from the hill country of Esau
will be destroyed by slaughter.(D)

Edom’s Sins against Judah

10 You will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever
because of violence done to your brother Jacob.(E)
11 On the day you stood aloof,(F)
on the day strangers captured his wealth,[b]
while foreigners entered his city gate
and cast lots for Jerusalem,(G)
you were just like one of them.(H)
12 Do not[c] gloat over your brother(I)
in the day of his calamity;
do not rejoice over the people of Judah(J)
in the day of their destruction;
do not boastfully mock[d](K)
in the day of distress.(L)
13 Do not enter my people’s city gate
in the day of their disaster.(M)
Yes, you—do not gloat over their misery
in the day of their disaster,
and do not appropriate their possessions(N)
in the day of their disaster.
