Jeremiah 49:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 ¶ To Edom thus saith the Lord of hosts, Is wisdom no more in [a]Teman? is counsel perished from their children? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee, ye inhabitants of Dedan ([b]they are turned back, and have consulted to dwell) for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, and the time of his visitation.
9 If the [c]grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leave some grapes? if thieves come by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
