Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”

Translation for Translators
The meaning of what I am saying is that your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud.

If you cause trouble by fighting against us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
