3 ‎[1] **You, who bring yourselves near to the day of evil**—You who cause yourselves to move to the day of evil.
‎[2] **and you bring near**—You bring yourselves near to dwell in the exile of Esau your brother who robs you, as it is said: (Obadiah 1:10) “From the violence of your brother Jacob.” This is the midrash of Rabbi Simon of blessed memory. [Note that this is also found in *Lev. Rabbah* 5:3.] Another explanation. **You who despise the day of evil**—You who despise the prophecy of the days of evil, which the prophets prophesy to them. **and you bring near a dwelling of violence**—This is as Isaiah states: (5:8) “Woe to those who join a house to a house.” You bring near dwelling in their midst one beside the other through violence.
