In context

⁴Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.

⁵“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?

⁶But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!

⁷All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.

⁸In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
