1:2 Coming punishment for Edom
We have heard from Yahweh and a messenger has been sent to the nations, telling them:
Get everything ready then go into battle against Edom.
2 And Yahweh says to Edom:
Listen,
I will make you into an insignificant nation.
≈You’ll become utterly despised.
3 Your inner pride has deceived you,
you who live on the rocky cliffs,
≈with your homes up there so high.
You say to yourselves that
no one can bring you down to the ground.
4 If you go up high like an eagle,
≈even if your nest was up between the stars,
Yahweh declares that his command can bring you down from there.
5 If it was thieves who came to destroy you in the night,
(and yes, you’re going to be destroyed)
they would only steal what they wanted.
Or if it was grape-pickers who came to you,
at least they’d leave behind the smaller grapes.
6 How Esau’s descendants will be looted.
≈Their hidden treasures will be found and taken.
7 Those who have treaties with you will force you to the border.
≈Those who talk about peace will deceive you.
≈Those who eat meals with you will set a trap for you.
You have no idea what’s about to hit you.
8 Yahweh will make a declaration on that day.
The wise people of Edom will be destroyed.
≈Understanding will disappear from Esau’s hill.
9 And you the city of Teyman, your warriors will be shattered,
≈so that everyone from Esau’s hill country will be slaughtered.
