Context of Jeremiah 49:6

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!” ’ 5But 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. But 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. 8You people who live in Dedan, run away and escape! Go and find somewhere safe to hide! The time has come for me to punish Esau's descendants. I will cause them to have terrible trouble.
