Jeremiah:49:7-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 children ,
I will preserve them 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 .
*
For ,
lo ,
I will make thee small among the heathen ,
and despised among men .
*
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee ,
and the pride of thine heart ,
O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock ,
that holdest the height of the hill gib #
ah #:
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 desolation :
every one that goeth by it shall be astonished ,
and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof .
*
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof ,
saith the LORD ,
no man shall abide there ,
neither shall a son of man dwell in it .
*
Behold ,
he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong :
but I will suddenly make him run away from her :
and who is a chosen man ,
that I may appoint over her ?
for who is like me ?
and who will appoint me the time ?
and who is that 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 .
*
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall ,
at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea .
*
Behold ,
he shall come up and fly as the eagle ,
and spread his wings over Bozrah :
and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs .
