New Testament

Jeremiah 49:4-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. You brag about your strength, but you are losing your strength. You trust in your wealth to save you. You think no one would even think of attacking you.”

5. But this is what the Lord GOD All-Powerful says: “I will bring troubles to you from every side. You will all run away, and no one will be able to bring you together again.”

6. “The Ammonites will be taken away as captives. But the time will come when I will bring the Ammonites back.” This message is from the Lord.

7. This message is about Edom. This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “Is there no more wisdom in Teman? Are the wise men of Edom not able to give good advice? Have they lost their wisdom?

8. You people living in Dedan, run away and hide, because I will punish Esau for the bad things he did.

9. “Workers pick grapes from grapevines, but they leave a few grapes on the plants. If thieves come at night, they don’t take everything.

10. But I will take everything from Esau. I will find all his hiding places. He will not be able to hide from me. His children, relatives, and neighbors will all die.

11. No one will be left to care for his children. His wives will have no one to depend on.”
