Tell these things to the people: You will pass through the land of Seir. This land belongs to your relatives, the descendants [10] of Esau. They will be afraid of you. Be very careful.
The Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your body. The rulers of two families will be born from you. And they will be divided. One son will be stronger than the other. The older son will serve the younger.”
Those people will be filled with fear
when they see your strength.
They will be as still as a rock
until the Lord’s people pass by,
until the people you have made pass by.
In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that people will see the good things you do. Live so that people will praise your Father in heaven.
Then you will be innocent and without anything wrong in you. You will be God’s children without fault. But you are living with evil people all around you who have become very bad. Among those people you shine like lights in the dark world.
