Awurade ka kyerɛ Edom se: “Hwɛ, mɛbrɛ wo ase. Mɛyɛ wo ketewa wɔ aman no mu, na wɔabu wo animtiaa. 
Wayɛ ahantan adaadaa wo ho, Wo a wote abotan ntokuru mu na woayɛ wʼatenae wɔ mmepɔw so, na woka kyerɛ wo ho se, ‘Hena na obetumi ayi me asi fam?’ 
Sɛ wutu kɔ wim sɛ akɔre, na woyɛ wo berebuw wɔ nsoromma ntam mpo a, hɔ na mɛba abɛtwe wo adwira fam.” Sɛnea Awurade se ni. 
“Sɛ akorɔmfo ba wo so, anaa adwowtwafo ba wo so anadwo a, atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛn na ɛrento wo? Na wɔrennwia wo nneɛma dodow a wɔpɛ ana? Sɛ bobe abatewfo ba wo so a, ɛnyɛ bobe aba kakraa bi pɛ na wobegyaw ama wo ana? 
Na wo Esau de, wobewia wʼademude a wode asie na wɔayɛ wo dosodoso. 
Wɔn a wo ne wɔn wɔ nkabom nyinaa bedi wo huammɔ. Wɔn a wʼadwene yɛ wo sɛ wo ne wɔn te asomdwoe mu no bɛdaadaa wo adi wo so, wɔn a wodi wʼaduan no asum wo afiri, nanso, wunhui. 
“Saa da no,” Awurade na ose, “Merensɛe anyansafo a wɔwɔ Edom ana, mmarima a wɔte asɛm ase a wɔwɔ Esau mmepɔw so ana? 
Teman wʼakofo bɛbɔ hu ne obiara a ɔwɔ Esau bepɔw so no, wobetwitwa mo atɔre mo ase. 
Esiane basabasayɛ a woyɛ tiaa wo nua Yakob no nti aniwu bɛka wo, na wɔbɛsɛe wo koraa. 
Da a wugyinaa ntentenso hwɛɛ no haa, maa ananafo faa nʼahonyade kɔe na ahɔho hyɛn ne kurow apon mu, na wɔbɔɔ Yerusalem so ntonto no, na wote sɛ wɔn mu baako. 
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wubu wo nua animtiaa bere a ɔwɔ asiane mu, anaa sɛ wudi ahurusi wɔ Yudafo so bere a wɔwɔ ɔsɛe mu, na mpo wohoahoa wo ho bere a wɔwɔ ahohia mu no. 
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode nsrabɔ hyɛn me nkurɔfo kurow apon no mu wɔ wɔn amanehunuda, anka ɛnsɛ sɛ woserew wɔ bere a wɔwɔ ɔhaw mu. Afei nso anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode wo nsa to wɔn ahode so gye wɔ bere a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu. 
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wotɛw wɔn nkwantanan so kunkum nʼaguanfo Na wuyi wɔn a aka no ma wɔ wɔn amanehunuda no mu. 
“Awurade da no abɛn ama amanaman nyinaa. Na hwɛ, Edom, sɛnea woyɛɛ no saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ wo. Wo nneyɛe bɛsan abegu wʼapampam. 
Sɛnea mononom nsã wɔ me bepɔw kronkron so no, saa ara na amanaman no nyinaa bɛkɔ so anom, saa ara na ɛbɛkɔ so da biara na wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ nea wonni hɔ. 
Na ogye bɛba Sion bepɔw so na ɛbɛyɛ kronkronbea, na Yakob nsa bɛsan aka nʼagyapade. 
Yakob bɛyɛ ogya na Yosef ayɛ ogyatannaa; Esau bɛyɛ adehunu bi na wɔde no bɛto ogya so ahyew no a obiara renka wɔ Esau ase.” Nea Awurade se ni. 
Nkurɔfo a wofi Negeb no bɛtena Esau mmepɔw so, Na wɔn a wofi nkoko no ase no, bɛfa Filisti asase no, na wɔbɛfa Efraim ne Samaria mfuw atena so, na Benyamin nso afa Gilead. 
Nnipakuw yi a wɔyɛ Israelfo a wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Kanaan no bɛfa Kanaan asase no akosi Sarefat; na Yerusalemfo a wotwaa wɔn asu a wɔte Safarad no bɛfa Negeb nkurow no adi so. 
Agyefo bɛkɔ Sion bepɔw so, akodi Edom mmepɔw no so. Na ahenni no bɛyɛ Awurade de!
