Concerning
Edom, thus
saith the
LORD of
hosts; Is
wisdom no more in
Teman? is
counsel perished from the
prudent? is their
wisdom vanished?

Flee ye, turn
back,
dwell deep, O
inhabitants of
Dedan; for I will
bring the
calamity of
Esau upon him, the
time that I will
visit him.

If
grapegatherers come to thee, would they not
leave some gleaning
grapes? if
thieves by
night, they will
destroy till they have
enough.

But I have made
Esau bare, I have
uncovered his secret
places, and he shall not be
able to
hide himself: his
seed is
spoiled, and his
brethren, and his
neighbours, and he is not.

Leave thy fatherless

alive; and let thy
widows trust in me.

For thus
saith the
LORD; Behold, they whose
judgment was not to
drink of the
cup have
assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall
altogether go
unpunished? thou shalt not go
unpunished, but thou shalt
surely drink of it.

For I have
sworn by myself,
saith the
LORD, that
Bozrah shall become a
desolation, a
reproach, a
waste, and a
curse; and all the
cities thereof shall be
perpetual wastes.

I have
heard a
rumour from the
LORD, and an
ambassador is
sent unto the
heathen, saying, Gather ye
together, and
come against her, and rise
up to the
battle.

Thy
terribleness hath
deceived thee, and the
pride of thine
heart, O thou that
dwellest in the
clefts of the

holdest the
height of the
hill: though thou shouldest make thy
nest as
high as the
eagle, I will bring thee
down from thence,
saith the
LORD.

Also
Edom shall be a

goeth by it shall be
astonished, and shall
hiss at all the
plagues thereof.

Behold, he shall come

suddenly make him run

appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the

shepherd that will
stand before me?

Therefore
hear the
counsel of the
LORD, that he hath
taken against
Edom; and his
purposes, that he hath
purposed against the
inhabitants of
Teman: Surely the
least of the
flock shall draw them
out: surely he shall make their
habitations desolate with them.
