Esau[fn] was father of the Edomites.

“Don’t provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even a foot of it,[fn] because I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his possession.

“So we bypassed our brothers, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. We turned away from the Arabah road and from Elath and Ezion-geber. We traveled along the road to the Wilderness of Moab.

The Horites had previously lived in Seir, but the descendants of Esau drove them out, destroying them completely[fn] and settling in their place, just as Israel did in the land of its possession the LORD gave them.

This was just as he had done for the descendants of Esau who lived in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites before them; they drove them out and have lived in their place until now.

“just as the descendants of Esau who live in Seir did for us, and the Moabites who live in Ar, until we cross the Jordan into the land the LORD our God is giving us.’

Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

But I will strip Esau bare;

I will uncover his secret places.

He will try to hide, but he will be unable.

His descendants will be destroyed

along with his relatives and neighbors.

He will exist no longer.

In that day —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom

and those who understand

from the hill country of Esau?

Teman,[fn] your warriors will be terrified

so that everyone from the hill country of Esau

will be destroyed by slaughter.

Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,

and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,

but the house of Esau will be stubble;

Jacob[fn] will set them on fire and consume Edom.[fn]

Therefore no survivor will remain

of the house of Esau,

for the LORD has spoken.

People from the Negev will possess

the hill country of Esau;

those from the Judean foothills will possess

the land of the Philistines.

They[fn] will possess

the territories of Ephraim and Samaria,

while Benjamin will possess Gilead.

Saviors[fn] will ascend Mount Zion

to rule over the hill country of Esau,

and the kingdom will be the LORD’s.

“but I hated Esau. I turned his mountains into a wasteland, and gave his inheritance to the desert jackals.”
