lesserot@Jeremiah:49:7 @ Concerning Edom, thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Is there no more wisdom in Theman? is counsel vanished from the prudent? is their wisdom become corrupt?

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:8 @ They flee, turn round, seek their abode in deep places, the inhabitants of Dedan; for the calamity of Esau do I bring upon him, the time when I visit him with punishment.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:9 @ If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings? if thieves by night, they would destroy only till they had satisfied themselves;

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:10 @ But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret haunts, so that he will not be able to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he is no more.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:11 @ Leave thy fatherless children, I will have to preserve them alive: and thy widows must trust in me.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:12 @ For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, they whose right it was not to drink the cup have been compelled to drink it, and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:13 @ For by myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse; and all its cities shall become perpetual ruins.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:16 @ Thy hastiness hath deceived thee, the presumption of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as the eagle, thence would I bring thee down, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:17 @ And Edom shall become astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its wounds.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:19 @ Behold, like a lion will he come up from the overflow of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will hasten him, make him suddenly prevail against her; and him who is chosen will I array against her; for who is like me? and who will challenge me to battle? and who is that shepherd that can stand before me?

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:20 @ Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath resolved against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath devised against the inhabitants of Theman: Surely the least of the flocks shall drag them away; surely he will devastate over them their habitation.

lesserot@Jeremiah:49:22 @ Behold, like the eagle shall he come up and fly along, and spread out his wings over Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be on that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
