Jeremiah 49:7-18

7Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628? 8FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him.1 9If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767.2 10But I have made EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his secret placesH4565, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiledH7703, and his brethrenH251, and his neighboursH7934, and he is not. 11LeaveH5800 thy fatherless childrenH3490, I will preserve them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in me. 12For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, they whose judgmentH4941 was not to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 have assuredlyH8354 drunkenH8354; and art thou he that shall altogetherH5352 go unpunishedH5352? thou shalt not go unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH8354 drinkH8354 of it. 13For I have swornH7650 by myself, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall become a desolationH8047, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2721, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723. 14I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from YhwhH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421. 15For, lo, I will makeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120. 16Thy terriblenessH8606 hath deceivedH5377 thee, and the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820, O thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdestH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagleH5404, I will bring thee downH3381 from thence, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 17Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof. 18As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 YhwhH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
