“Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“^(A)Destroy wise men from Edom
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?

^{Tools

“Then your ^(B)mighty men will be dismayed, O ^(C)Teman,
So that everyone may be ^(D)cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

^{Tools

“Because of ^(E)violence to your brother Jacob,
^(a)You will be covered with shame,
^(F)And you will be cut off forever.

^{Tools

“On the day that you ^(G)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And ^(H)cast lots for Jerusalem—
^(I)You too were as one of them.

^{Tools

“^(J)Do not ^(b)gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And ^(K)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Yes, ^(L)do not ^(c)boast
In the day of their distress.

^{Tools

“Do not enter the gate of My people
In the ^(M)day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not ^(d)gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not ^(N)loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.

“Do not ^(O)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

“For the ^(P)day of the Lord draws near on all the nations.
^(Q)As you have done, it will be done to you.
Your ^(R)dealings will return on your own head.

^{Tools

“Because just as you ^(S)drank on ^(T)My holy mountain,
All the nations ^(U)will drink continually.
They will drink and ^(e)swallow
And become as if they had never existed.

^{Tools

“But on Mount ^(V)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will ^(W)possess their possessions.

^{Tools

“Then the house of Jacob will be a ^(X)fire
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble.
And they will set ^(f)them on fire and consume ^(g)them,
So that there will be ^(Y)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.

^{Tools

Then those of the ^(h)Negev will ^(Z)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the ⁽ⁱ⁾Shephelah the ^(AA)Philistine plain;
Also, ^(AB)possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.

^{Tools

And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as ^(AC)Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
Will possess the ^(AD)cities of the Negev.

The ^(AE)deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the ^(AF)kingdom will be the Lord’s.
