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.

dwell deep—in deep defiles and caves [GROTIUS], which abound in Idumea. Others refer it to the Arab custom of retiring into the depth of the desert when avoiding an offended foe (Jeremiah 49:30).
Dedan—a tribe bordering on and made subject by Idumea; descended from Jokshan, son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:1-3).
Esau—The naming of Edom's progenitor, reprobated by God, recalls the remembrance of the old curse on him for his profanity, both his sin and its punishment being perpetuated in his descendants (Hebrews 12:16-17).
