Context of Jeremiah 49:5
3‘You people in Heshbon, cry aloud, because the enemy has destroyed Ai. Weep, you people who live in Rabbah. Dress yourselves in sackcloth, because you are so sad. Run around inside the city. The enemy will take away your idol of Molech. They will take Molech's priests and their officers to a foreign land. 4You people of Ammon boast about your power. But that will soon come to an end! You have not been faithful. You have trusted in your riches and you say, “Nobody will be able to attack us!” ’ But the Lord God Almighty says, ‘I will bring terror all around you. Your enemy will chase you away in all directions. Nobody will be able to bring you together again. 6But in future days, I will make Ammon's people strong again.’ That is what the Lord says. 7The Lord Almighty gave this message about Edom: ‘It seems that wisdom has disappeared from Teman. Edom's clever men have no good advice. Their great ideas have gone away.
