Says the Lord God of hosts,
“From all those who are around you;
You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,
And no one will gather those who wander off.
Judgment on Edom
b“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
cHas counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom dvanished?
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And bhe is no more.
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!
The apride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
bThough you make your cnest as high as the eagle,
dI will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
aEveryone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
| << Jeremiah 49:6 | Jeremiah 49:8 >> |
