Word Against Edom

Concerning (A)Edom.
Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“Is there no longer any (B)wisdom in (C)Teman?
Has counsel been lost to the understanding?
Has their wisdom decayed?
Flee away, turn back, inhabit the depths,
O inhabitants of (D)Dedan,
For I [a]will bring the (E)disaster of Esau upon him
At the time I [b]punish him.
(F)If grape gatherers came to you,
Would they not have gleanings remain?
If thieves came by night,
They would ruin only [c]until they had enough.
