In context

8Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.

10But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more.
