who came from Esau .(:

hath their wisdom vanished ?
*
Flee ye , (

The enemies that pretend to flee ,
will turn back and invade your land ,
and possess it .(:
note )
turn back ,
dwell deep ,
O inhabitants of Dedan ;
for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him ,
the time [
that ]
I will punish him .

If (

though the grape gatherers leave some grapes ,
and thieves seek but till they have enough , (
Oba_1

note )
grapegatherers come to thee ,
would they not leave [
some ]
gleaning grapes ?
if thieves by night ,

*
For I haue discouered Esau :

and he shall not be able to hide himselfe :
his seede is wasted ,
and his brethren and his neighbours ,
and there shall be none to say ,
*
Leave thy (

fatherless children ,
I will preserve [
them ]
alive ;
and let thy widows trust in me .
*
For thus saith the LORD ; (

I have not spared my own people and how should I pity you ?(:
note )
Behold ,
they whose judgment [
was ]
not to drink of the cup have assuredly drank ;
and [
art ]
thou he [
that ]
shall altogether go unpunished ?
thou shalt not go unpunished ,
but thou shalt surely drink [
of it ].
*
For I have sworn by myself ,
saith the LORD ,
that (
note :)
Which was a chief city of Edom .(:
note )
Bozrah shall become a desolation ,
a reproach ,
a waste ,
and a curse ;
and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes .
*
I have heard a rumour from the LORD ,
and an ambassador is sent to the nations , [
saying ],
Gather ye together ,
and come against (
note :)
That is ,
Bozrah .(:
note )
her ,
and rise up to the battle .
*
For loe ,
I will make thee but small among the heathen ,
and despised among men .
*
Thy feare ,
and ye pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee ,
thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rocke ,
and keepest the height of ye hil :
though thou shouldest make thy nest as hie as the egle ,
I wil bring thee downe from thece ,
sayth the Lord .
*
Also Edom shall be desolate :
euery one that goeth by it ,
shall be astonished ,
and shal hisse at all the plagues thereof ,
*
As in the ouerthrowe of Sodom ,
and of Gomorah ,
and the places thereof neere about ,
saieth the Lord :
no man shall dwell there ,
neither shall the sonnes of men remaine in it .
*
Behold , (

That is ,
Nebuchadnezzar after he has overcome Judah ,
which is meant by the swelling of Jordan ,

*
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD ,
that he hath taken against Edom ;
and his purposes ,
that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman :
Surely the least (

They will not be able to resist his petty captains .(:
note )
of the flock shall draw them out :
surely To visit the enemy .
he shall make their habitations desolate with them .
*
The earth is mooued at the noyse of their fall :
the crie of their voice is heard in the red Sea .
*
Behold ,
he shall come up and fly as the eagle , (
note :)
As (

was said of Moab .(:

and spread his wings over Bozrah :
and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs .
