Our fathers were killed in battle, and our sons, daughters, and wives are prisoners because of this.
The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and captured prisoners.

I will condemn you so that you will go down in defeat in front of your enemies. Those who hate you will be your rulers. You will run away even when no one is chasing you.
