Jeremiah 49:4-10 God's Word Translation (GW)

4. Why do you brag about your valleys,your fertile valleys, you unfaithful people?You trust your treasures.You think, “Who would attack me?”

5. I am going to bring terror on you from all around,declares the Almighty Lord of Armies.Everyone will be scattered.No one will gather the refugees.

6. But afterward, I will return the captives of Ammon, declares the Lord.

7. This is what the Lord of Armies says about Edom:Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman?Has wisdom disappeared from your people?Has their wisdom vanished?

8. Turn and run.Hide in deep caves, inhabitants of Dedan.When I punish them,I will bring disaster on the descendants of Esau.

9. If people come to pick your grapes,won’t they leave a few grapes behind?If thieves come during the night,won’t they steal only until they’ve had enough?

10. Yet, I will strip the descendants of Esau.I will find their hiding places.They won’t be able to hide.Their children and relatives will be destroyed.None of their neighbors will say,
