Concerning ^(C1)Edom. This is what the LORD of armies says: "Is there no longer any ^(C2)wisdom in ^(C3)Teman? Has good advice been lost by the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?

-"Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths, You inhabitants of ^(C1)Dedan, For I ^(F1)will bring the ^(C2)disaster of Esau upon him At the time I ^(F2)punish him.

-"^(C1)If grape pickers came to you, Would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, They would destroy only what was sufficient for them.

-"But I have ^(C1)stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his hiding places So that he will not be able to conceal himself; His ^(F1)offspring have been destroyed along with his ^(F2)brothers And his neighbors, and ^(C2)he no longer exists.

-"Leave your ^(F1)(C1)orphans behind, I will keep them alive; And let your ^(C2)widows trust in Me."

For this is what the LORD says: "Behold, those ^(F1)who were not sentenced to drink the ^(C1)cup will certainly drink it, so are you the one who will be held ^(C2)completely blameless? You will not be held blameless, but you will certainly drink it.
