Jeremiah 49:7-22

Prophecy against Edom

Tools
7
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?
Tools
8
“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.
Tools
9
“(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.
Tools
10
“But I have (G)stripped Esau bare,
I have uncovered his hiding places
So that he will not be able to conceal himself;
His (d)offspring has been destroyed along with his (e)relatives
And his neighbors, and (H)he is no more.
Tools
11
“Leave your (f)(I)orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
And let your (J)widows trust in Me.”
Tools
12 For thus says the Lord, “Behold, those (g)who were not sentenced to drink the (K)cup will certainly drink it, and are you the one who will be (L)completely acquitted? You will not be acquitted, but you will certainly drink it.
Tools
13 For I have (M)sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that (N)Bozrah will become an (O)object of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.”
Tools
14
I have (P)heard a message from the Lord,
And an (Q)envoy is sent among the nations, saying,
“(R)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
Tools
15
“For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among men.
Tools
16
“As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who live in the clefts of (h)the (S)rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as (T)high as an eagle’s,
I will (U)bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.
Tools
17 “Edom will become an (V)object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will (W)hiss at all its wounds.
Tools
18 Like the (X)overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “(Y)no one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it.
Tools
19 (Z)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the (i)(AA)thickets of the Jordan against (j)a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is (AB)chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is (AC)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd (AD)who can stand against Me?”
Tools
20 Therefore hear the (AE)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their (k)pasture (AF)desolate because of them.
Tools
21 The (AG)earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the (l)Red Sea.
Tools
22 Behold, (m)He will mount up and (AH)swoop like an eagle and spread out His wings (n)against Bozrah; and the (AI)hearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
