Jeremiah 49:7-13

7Concerning 1Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Is there no longer any 2wisdom in 3Teman? Has good counsel been lost to the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?8Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of 4Dedan, For I 5will bring the 6disaster of Esau upon him At the time I 7punish him.98If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, They would destroy only 9until they had enough.10But I have 10stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his hiding places So that he will not be able to conceal himself; His 11offspring has been destroyed along with his 12relatives And his neighbors, and 13he is no more.11Leave your 1415orphans behind, I will keep them alive; And let your 16widows trust in Me.”

12For thus says the Lord, “Behold, those 17who were not sentenced to drink the 18cup will certainly drink it, and are you the one who will be 19completely acquitted? You will not be acquitted, but you will certainly drink it. 13For I have 20sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that 21Bozrah will become an 22object of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.”
