Prophecy against Edom

Concerning (A)Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Is there no longer any (B)wisdom in (C)Teman?
Has good counsel been lost to the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
“Flee away, turn back, dwell in 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 leave gleanings?
If thieves came by night,
They would destroy only [c]until they had enough.
