Jeremiah 49:7-13

7Concerning 1Edom. This is what the Lord of armies says: “Is there no longer any 2wisdom in 3Teman? Has good advice been lost by the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?8Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths, You inhabitants of 4Dedan, For I 5will bring the 6disaster of Esau upon him At the time I 7punish him.98If grape pickers came to you, Would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, They would destroy only what was sufficient for them.10But I have 9stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his hiding places So that he will not be able to conceal himself; His 10offspring have been destroyed along with his 11brothers And his neighbors, and 12he no longer exists.11Leave your 1314orphans behind, I will keep them alive; And let your 15widows trust in Me.”

12For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, those 16who were not sentenced to drink the 17cup will certainly drink it, so are you the one who will be held 18completely blameless? You will not be held blameless, but you will certainly drink it. 13For I have 19sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that 20Bozrah will become an 21object of horror, a disgrace, a wasteland, and a curse; and all its cities will become permanent ruins.”
