Jeremiah 49:9 in context

  1. 7Of Edom, Yahweh of Armies says:
    “Is wisdom no more in Teman?
    Has counsel perished from the prudent?
    Has their wisdom vanished?
  2. 8Flee! Turn back!
    Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan;
    for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him.
  3. 9If grape gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
    If thieves came by night,
    wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?
  4. 10But I have made Esau bare,
    I have uncovered his secret places,
    and he will not be able to hide himself.
    His offspring is destroyed,
    with his brothers and his neighbors;
    and he is no more.
  5. 11Leave your fatherless children.
    I will preserve them alive.
    Let your widows trust in me.”
