כִּי כֹה אָמַר יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אַחַר כָּבוֹד שְׁלָחַנִי אֶל־הַגּוֹיִם הַשֹּׁלְלִים אֶתְכֶם כִּי הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּכֶם נֹגֵעַ בְּבָבַת עֵינֽוֹ׃
For thus says the Lord of hosts – (because of his honour he sent me to the nations which spoiled you: for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye) –

כִּי הִנְנִי מֵנִיף אֶת־יָדִי עֲלֵיהֶם וְהָיוּ שָׁלָל לְעַבְדֵיהֶם וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת שְׁלָחָֽנִי׃ {ס}
For behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me.

Rashi
והיו שלל לעבדיהם. לישראל שהם עתה עבדים להן:
and they shall be prey, etc., to Israel, who are now slaves to them.
אחר כבוד. אחר כבודכם אני שלוח להגדיל לכם כבוד ומדרש אגדה אחר כבוד אחר שאשלם לעשו כבוד שכיבד את אביו:
After glory After your glory I am sent, to magnify your glory. And the Midrash Aggadah (Addendum to Tan. Buber, Devarim 4) states: After the honor - After I pay Esau for the honor that he bestowed upon his father.
