Jeremiah 49:7-9

International Children’s Bible

A Message About Edom

⁷This message is about Edom. This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says:

“Is there no more wisdom in Teman?
    Can the wise men of Edom no longer give good advice?
    Have they lost their wisdom?
⁸You people living in Dedan,
    run away and hide in deep caves.
This is because I will punish
    the people of Esau with disaster for what they did.
⁹If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,
    they would leave a few grapes behind.
If robbers came at night,
    they would steal only enough for themselves.

⁷Concerning Edom:^(C)

This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?^(D)
    Has counsel perished from the prudent?
    Has their wisdom decayed?
⁸Turn and flee, hide in deep caves,^(E)
    you who live in Dedan,^(F)
for I will bring disaster on Esau
    at the time when I punish him.
⁹If grape pickers came to you,
    would they not leave a few grapes?
If thieves came during the night,
    would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
