Context of Jeremiah 49:5
3Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated; cry out, daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; run back and forth within your walls, because Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials. 4Why do you boast about your valleys, your flowing valley, you faithless daughter — you who trust in your treasures and say, “Who can attack me?” Look, I am about to bring terror on you — this is the declaration of the Lord God of Armies — from all those around you. You will be banished, each person headlong, with no one to gather up the fugitives. 6But after that, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites. This is the Lord’s declaration. 7About Edom, this is what the Lord of Armies says: Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom rotted away?
