Thus said GOD: For three transgressions of Edom, For four, I will not revoke the decree: Because he pursued his brother with the sword And repressed all pity, Because his anger raged unceasing And his fury stormed and Jer. 3.5. unchecked.
אנה אנחנו עלים אחינו המסו את לבבנו לאמר עם גדול ורם ממנו ערים גדלת ובצורת בשמים וגם בני ענקים ראינו שם
What kind of place are we going to? Our brothers have taken the heart out of us, saying, ‘We saw there a people stronger and taller than we, large cities with walls sky-high, and even Anakites.’”
