"Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You [will be] utterly despised!

[Even] if you soar like the eagle, [even] if your nest is set among [the] stars, from there I will bring you down!" {declares} Yahweh:

All of your {allies} have driven you up to the boundary; your {confederates} have deceived you and have prevailed against you. [Those who eat] your bread have set an ambush for you, there is no understanding of it.

On that day," {declares} Yahweh, "will I not destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau?

And your warriors will be shattered, Teman, so that {everyone} from the mountain of Esau will be cut off because of the slaughter!

"Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you and you will be cut off forever.

"For the day of Yahweh [is] near against all the nations! Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return on your [own] head.

For just as you have drunk on {my holy mountain}, all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and they will slurp, and they will be as [if] they had never been.

But on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take possession [of] their dispossessors.

And the house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; and they will set them on fire and will consume them. And there will not be a survivor for the house of Esau," for Yahweh has spoken.

Those of the Negev will take possession of the mountain of Esau, and those of the Shephelah [will possess the land of] the Philistines, and they shall take possession of the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, and Benjamin [will take possession of] Gilead.

And the exiles of this army of the people of Israel [will possess] Canaan up to Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who [are] in Sepharad will take possession of the cities of the Negev.

And those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to rule the mountain of Esau. And the kingdom {will belong to} Yahweh.
