2See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
3You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
4Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.
5If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his secret stores looked for!
7All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
8Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?
