We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink water from wells; we will go along the King's Highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territories." 18 But Edom said to him, "You shall not pass through my land, lest I come out against you with the sword." 19 So the children of Israel said to him, "We will go by the highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, without doing anything else." 20 Then he said, "You shall not pass through."

If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes? 6 How Esau's things are searched out! How his hidden treasures are sought after! 7 All the men of your confederacy have driven you to the border; the men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have laid a trap under you. There is no understanding in him. 8 Shall I not in that day, says the LORD, even destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau? 9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, so that everyone from the mountain of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10 For your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were as one of them. 12 But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother in the day of his calamity; nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress. 13 You should not have entered the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; indeed, you should not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. 14 You should not have stood at the crossroads to cut off those among them who escaped; nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained in the day of distress. 15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations: as you have done, it shall be done to you; your recompense shall return upon your own head. 16 For as you have drunk on My holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yes, they shall drink, and swallow, and they shall be as though they had never been. 17 But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall kindle them and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken. 19 Those of the South shall possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the plain the Philistines; they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20 The captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South. 21 Then deliverers shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
