Context of Jeremiah 49:6
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?” 5Look, 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. But 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? 8Run! Turn back! Lie low, residents of Dedan, for I will bring Esau’s calamity on him at the time I punish him.
