If, thieves, had come to thee, if robbers by night - how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape-gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings?

Up to the boundary, have they sent thee - All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee - the men thou wast wont to salute, - The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee - No understanding in him!

Shall it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh, - That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?

Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah - in the day of their ruin, - nor enlarge thy mouth - in the day of distress:

Do not enter into the gate of my people - in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery - in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust thy hands on his substance - in the day of his misfortune;

For, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, - Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.
