6 “But afterward I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites, declares the Lord.”
7 Concerning Edom.Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths,O inhabitants of Dedan!For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time when I punish him.
9 If grape gatherers came to you,would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night,would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
10 But I have stripped Esau bare; I have uncovered his hiding places,and he is not able to conceal himself.His children are destroyed, and his brothers,and his neighbors; and he is no more.
11 Leave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive; and let your widows trust in me.”
12 For thus says the Lord: “If those who did not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, will you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you must drink.
