Jeremiah 49:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

5 See, I am bringing terror upon you—
    oracle of the Lord God of hosts—
    from all around you;
You shall be scattered, each in headlong flight,
    with no one to gather the fugitives.(A)
6 But afterward I will restore the fortunes
    of the Ammonites—oracle of the Lord.

Against Edom.[a] 7 Concerning Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts:

Is there no more wisdom in Teman,[b]
    has counsel perished from the prudent,
    is their wisdom gone?
