5
Behold, I bring fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of the hosts, from all sides; and ye shall be driven out each man right forth in the direction he is facing; and no one shall gather up him that wanders.
6
And afterward I will turn again the captivity of the sons of Ammon, said the LORD.
7
Concerning Edom, thus hath the LORD of the hosts said: Is there no more wisdom in Teman? Has the counsel of the wise perished? Is their wisdom corrupted?
8
Flee, turn back, hide in the deeps to remain, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, at the time
that I have to visit him.
9
If grapegatherers came against thee, would they not leave
some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, they will take what they have need of.
10
But I will make Esau bare, I will uncover his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself; his seed shall be destroyed, and his brethren and his neighbours and he shall no longer be.
11
Leave thy fatherless children; I will raise them; and thy widows shall trust in me.
12
For thus hath the LORD said: Behold, those who were not condemned to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and shalt thou be absolved of everything? Thou shalt not be absolved, but thou shalt surely drink
of it.
13
For I have sworn by myself, said the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.
14
I have heard the news, that from the LORD a messenger had been sent unto the Gentiles,
saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15
For, behold, I have placed thee as small among the Gentiles
and despised among men.
