The LORD says,“Look! I will make you a weak nation; you will be greatly despised!
Your presumptuous heart has deceived you– you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs, whose home is high in the mountains. You think to yourself,‘No one can bring me down to the ground!’
Even if you were to soar high like an eagle, even if you were to make your nest among the stars, I can bring you down even from there!” says the LORD.

How the people of Esau will be thoroughly plundered! Their hidden valuables will be ransacked!
All your allies will force you from your homeland! Your treaty partners will deceive you and overpower you. Your trusted friends will set an ambush for you that will take you by surprise!
At that time,” the LORD says,“I will destroy the wise sages of Edom, the advisers from Esau’s mountain!
