Jeremiah 49:7-18

7Of EdomH123. ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: Is wisdomH2451 noH369 moreH5750 in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanished?

8FleeH5127 ye, turnH6437 backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 uponH5921 him, the time that I shall visitH6485 him.

9IfH518 grapegatherers cameH935 to thee, would they notH3808 leaveH7604 someH5955 gleaningH5955 grapes? ifH518 thievesH1590 by nightH3915, would they notH3808 destroyH7843 till they had enoughH1767?

10But I have madeH1540 EsauH6215 bareH1540, I have uncoveredH1540 his secretH4565 placesH4565, and he shall notH3808 be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himselfH1540: his seedH2233 is spoiled, and his brethrenH251, and his neighbours, and he is notH3808.

11LeaveH5800 thy fatherlessH3490 childrenH3490, I will preserveH2421 them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in meH5921.

12For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2009, they to whomH834 it pertained notH3808 to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 shall assuredly drinkH8354; and art thou he that shall altogether goH5352 unpunishedH5352? thou shalt notH3808 goH5352 unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH3588 drinkH8354.

13For I have swornH7650 by myself, saith the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2723, and a curseH7045; and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.

14I have heardH8085 tidingsH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassador is sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, GatherH6908 yourselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 againstH5921 herH7971, and riseH6965 upH6965 to the battleH4421.

15For, beholdH2009, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the nationsH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120.

16As for thy terribleness, the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdest the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: thoughH3588 thou shouldest makeH3588 thy nestH7064 as highH4791 as the eagleH5404, I will bringH3381 thee downH3381 from thence, saith the LORDH3068;

17And EdomH123 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment: everyH3605 one that passeth by it shall he astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at allH3605 the plaguesH4347 thereof.

18As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORDH3068, noH3808 manH376 shall dwellH3427 there, neitherH3808 shall anyH376 sonH1121 of manH376 sojourn therein.
