Jeremiah 49:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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:

has counsel perished from the prudent,
is their wisdom gone?
8 Flee, retreat, hide deep for lodging,
inhabitants of Dedan:
For I bring disaster upon Esau[c]
when I come to punish them.(A)
