Jeremiah 49:8
Compare all
6 But aafterward I will bring back
The captives of the people of Ammon,” says the Lord.  

Judgment on Edom

7 aAgainst Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts:
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. 
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? 
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.

Dedan - Was a city of Arabia joining to Idumea, Isaiah 21:13, they being neighbours to the Edomites are called to flee, and to get into caves, where they might dwell deep in the earth and be in some security.
