And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman,

so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.

will be terrified,

and everyone on the mountains of Edom

will be cut down in the slaughter.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord,

Even destroy the wise men out of Edom,

And understanding out of the mount of Esau?

And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,

To the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
