8 “In that day,” declares the Lord,

“will I not destroyo the wise men of Edom,

those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?

9 Your warriors, Teman,p will be terrified,

and everyone in Esau’s mountains

will be cut down in the slaughter.

10 Because of the violenceq against your brother Jacob,r

you will be covered with shame;

you will be destroyed forever.s

11 On the day you stood aloof

while strangers carried off his wealth

and foreigners entered his gates

and cast lotst for Jerusalem,

you were like one of them.u

12 You should not gloatv over your brother

in the day of his misfortune,w

nor rejoicex over the people of Judah

in the day of their destruction,y

nor boastz so much

in the day of their trouble.a

13 You should not march through the gates of my people

in the day of their disaster,

nor gloat over them in their calamityb

in the day of their disaster,

nor seize their wealth

in the day of their disaster.

14 You should not wait at the crossroads

to cut down their fugitives,c

nor hand over their survivors

in the day of their trouble.

15 “The day of the Lord is neard

for all nations.

As you have done, it will be done to you;

your deedse will return upon your own head.
