Jeremiah 49:7-16

Jeremiah 49:7-16

[7] Concerning Edom,  thus saith  the LORD  of hosts;  Is wisdom  no more in Teman?  is counsel  perished  from the prudent?  is their wisdom  vanished?  [8] Flee  ye, turn back,  dwell  deep,  O inhabitants  of Dedan;  for I will bring  the calamity  of Esau  upon him, the time  that I will visit  [9] If grapegatherers  come  to thee, would they not leave  some gleaning grapes?  if thieves  by night,  they will destroy  till they have enough.  [10] But I have made Esau  bare,  I have uncovered  his secret places,  and he shall not be able  to hide  himself: his seed  is spoiled,  and his brethren,  and his neighbours,  [11] Leave  thy fatherless children,  I will preserve them alive;  and let thy widows  trust  in me. [12] For thus saith  the LORD;  Behold, they whose judgment  was not to drink  of the cup  have assuredly  and art thou he that shall altogether  but thou shalt surely  [13] For I have sworn  by myself, saith  the LORD,  that Bozrah  shall become a desolation,  a reproach,  a waste,  and a curse;  and all the cities  thereof shall be perpetual  wastes.  [14] I have heard  a rumour  from the LORD,  and an ambassador  is sent  unto the heathen,  saying, Gather ye together,  and come  against her, and rise up  to the battle.  [15] For, lo, I will make  thee small  among the heathen,  and despised  among men.  [16] Thy terribleness  hath deceived  thee, and the pride  of thine heart,  O thou that dwellest  in the clefts  of the rock,  that holdest  the height  of the hill:  though thou shouldest make thy nest  as high  as the eagle,  I will bring thee down  from thence, saith  the LORD.
