Jeremiah 49:7-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
    Has counsel perished from the prudent?
    Has their wisdom vanished?^(A)
8 Flee; turn back; get down low,
    inhabitants of Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
    the time when I punish him.^(B)
9 If grape gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave gleanings?
If thieves came by night,
    even they would pillage only what they wanted.^(C)
10 But as for me, I have stripped Esau bare;
    I have uncovered his hiding places,
    and he is not able to conceal himself.
His offspring are destroyed, his kinsfolk
    and his neighbors, and he is no more.^(D)
11 Leave your orphans; I will keep them alive,
    and let your widows trust in me.^(E)
