Jeremiah 49:7-13

7Concerning Edom.

This is what the Lord of armies says:

“Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman?

Has good advice been lost by the prudent?

Has their wisdom decayed?

8“Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths,

You inhabitants of Dedan,

For I will bring the disaster of Esau upon him

At the time I punish him.

9“If grape pickers came to you,

Would they not leave gleanings?

If thieves came by night,

They would destroy only what was sufficient for them.

10“But I have stripped Esau bare,

I have uncovered his hiding places

So that he will not be able to conceal himself;

His offspring have been destroyed along with his brothers

And his neighbors, and he no longer exists.

11“Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;

And let your widows trust in Me.”

¹²For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, those who were not sentenced to drink the cup will certainly drink it, so are you the one who will be held completely blameless? You will not be held blameless, but you will certainly drink it. ¹³For I have sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah will become an object of horror, a disgrace, a wasteland, and a curse; and all its cities will become permanent ruins.”
