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.
| << Jeremiah 49:8 | Jeremiah 49:10 >> |
