Jeremiah 49:7-22 Of Edom––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there, no longer, wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is, their wisdom, corrupt?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Of Edom––Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there, no longer, wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is, their wisdom, corrupt? ⁸ Flee ye, turn, go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan,––For, the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him, The time of his visitation. ⁹ If, grape–gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them? ¹⁰ But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And, to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is, not. ¹¹ Leave thy fatherless children, I, will preserve them alive,––And, thy widows, In me, let them trust. ¹² For, thus, saith Yahweh––Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art, thou, the one to go, unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but, shalt surely drink. ¹³ For, by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah, shall become, an astonishment, a reproach, and a desolation, and a contempt,––And, all her cities, shall become age–abiding desolations. ¹⁴ A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent,––Gather yourselves together, and come against her, And arise to the battle. ¹⁵ For lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations,––Despised among men! ¹⁶ Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill,––Though thou set high, as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh; ¹⁷ So shall, Edom, become, an astonishment,––Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues: ¹⁸ Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh,––There shall not dwell there––a man, Nor sojourn therein––any son of the earth–born. ¹⁹ Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink––I will make him run away therefrom, Who, then shall be the Chosen One whom, over it, I may set in charge? For who, shall be like unto, me? And who, shall appoint, me, a time? And who, is, the Shepherd, that shall stand before, me? ²⁰ Wherefore, hear ye, The counsel of Yahweh, which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman,––Surely the little ones of the flock, shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them. ²¹ At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise. ²² Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah,––So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.
