They remember those things\par on the mountains in the open country.\par The people of Judah have many treasures.\par I will give those things to other people.\par People will destroy all the high places {\cf2\super [137]} \par in your country.\par You worshiped at those places.\par And that was a sin.\par
Edom, you scared other nations.\par So you thought you were important.\par But your pride has fooled you.\par You live in those caves, high on the cliff.\par Your home is high in the hills.\par But even if you build your home\par as high as an eagle’s nest,\par I will bring you down from there.”\par The Lord said these things.\par
The judges in Jerusalem accept bribes\par to help them decide who wins in court.\par The priests in Jerusalem must be paid\par before they will teach the people.\par People must pay the prophets\par before they will look into the future.\par And then those leaders expect the Lord\par to help them. They say,\par “The Lord lives here with us.\par So nothing bad will happen to us.”\par
