Jeremiah 49:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Concerning Edom.
Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
    Has counsel perished from the prudent?
    Has their wisdom vanished?
⁸ Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths,
    O inhabitants of Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
    the time when I punish him.
⁹ If grape-gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave gleanings?
If thieves came by night,
    would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
