“You will really be ·ruined [L cut off]!
If thieves came to you,
    if ·robbers [plunderers] came by night,
    they would steal only enough for themselves.
If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,
    they would leave ·a few behind [some for the poor; the gleanings].
But you, Edom, will ·really lose everything [be cleaned/L searched out]!
    People will find all your hidden treasures!
All ·the people who are your friends [your allies; L the people of your covenant/treaty]
    will force you ·out of the land [L to the border].
The people ·who are at peace with you [or who promised you peace; L of your peace]
    will ·trick [deceive] you and ·defeat [overpower] you.
Those who eat your bread [C indicating fellowship and friendship] with you now
    are planning a trap for you,
and you will ·not notice it [be taken by surprise; have no understanding].”
