Jeremiah 49:7-9

Good News Translation

The Lord's Judgment on Edom

^7 (A)This is what the Lord Almighty said about Edom: “Have the people of Edom lost their good judgment? Can their advisers no longer tell them what to do? Has all their wisdom disappeared? ⁸ People of Dedan, turn and run! Hide! I am going to destroy Esau's descendants because the time has come for me to punish them. ⁹ When people pick grapes, they leave a few on the vines, and when robbers come at night, they take only what they want.
