Context of Jeremiah 49:6
4Why do you brag about your valleys, your fertile valleys, you unfaithful people? You trust your treasures. You think, “Who would attack me?” 5I am going to bring terror on you from all around, declares the Almighty Lord of Armies. Everyone will be scattered. No one will gather the refugees. But afterward, I will return the captives of Ammon, declares the Lord. 7This is what the Lord of Armies says about Edom: Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Has wisdom disappeared from your people? Has their wisdom vanished? 8Turn and run. Hide in deep caves, inhabitants of Dedan. When I punish them, I will bring disaster on the descendants of Esau.
