b“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
cHas counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom dvanished?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of aDedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
9 aIf grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
10 aBut I have made Esau bare;
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.
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.
