The pride and arrogance of your heart have deceived you,

I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

therefore thus says the Lord God, “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and I will cut off and destroy man and beast. I will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

And you shall be cut off forever.
