Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

The least of the flock - the weakest and humblest of the Chaldean host. Compare , where the hostile leaders and their hosts are called "shepherds and their flocks."

Shall draw them out - `shall drag them away captive' (Grotius); shall drag them to and fro, as a lion () does feeble sheep (Maurer). He shall make their habitations desolate with them. The force of "with them" is simply the habitation which they possess.
