8 And at this house [01004], which is high [05945], every one that passeth [05674] by it shall be astonished [08074], and shall hiss [08319]; and they shall say [0559], Why hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] thus unto this land [0776], and to this house [01004]?
1 Now these are the generations [08435] of Esau [06215], who is Edom [0123].
14 I have heard [08085] a rumour [08052] from the LORD [03068], and an ambassador [06735] is sent [07971] unto the heathen [01471], saying, Gather ye together [06908], and come [0935] against her, and rise up [06965] to the battle [04421].
15 For, lo, I will make [05414] thee small [06996] among the heathen [01471], and despised [0959] among men [0120].
16 Thy terribleness [08606] hath deceived [05377] thee, and the pride [02087] of thine heart [03820], O thou that dwellest [07931] in the clefts [02288] of the rock [05553], that holdest [08610] the height [04791] of the hill [01389]: though thou shouldest make thy nest [07064] as high [01361] as the eagle [05404], I will bring thee down [03381] from thence, saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
17 Also Edom [0123] shall be a desolation [08047]: every one that goeth [05674] by it shall be astonished [08074], and shall hiss [08319] at all the plagues [04347] thereof.
18 As in the overthrow [04114] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] and the neighbour [07934] cities thereof, saith [0559] the LORD [03068], no man [0376] shall abide [03427] there, neither shall a son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up [05927] like a lion [0738] from the swelling [01347] of Jordan [03383] against the habitation [05116] of the strong [0386]: but I will suddenly [07280] make him run away [07323] from her: and who is a chosen [0977] man, that I may appoint [06485] over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time [03259]? and who is that shepherd [07462] that will stand [05975] before [06440] me?
20 Therefore hear [08085] the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068], that he hath taken [03289] against Edom [0123]; and his purposes [04284], that he hath purposed [02803] against the inhabitants [03427] of Teman [08487]: Surely the least [06810] of the flock [06629] shall draw them out [05498]: surely he shall make their habitations [05116] desolate [08074] with them.
21 The earth [0776] is moved [07493] at the noise [06963] of their fall [05307], at the cry [06818] the noise [06963] thereof was heard [08085] in the Red [05488] sea [03220].
22 Behold, he shall come up [05927] and fly [01675] as the eagle [05404], and spread [06566] his wings [03671] over Bozrah [01224]: and at that day [03117] shall the heart [03820] of the mighty men [01368] of Edom [0123] be as the heart [03820] of a woman [0802] in her pangs [06887].
