6. "But afterward I will restore The fortunes of the sons of Ammon," Declares the Lord.

7. Concerning Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Is there no longer any wisdom in Teman? Has good counsel been lost to the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?

8. "Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan, For I will bring the disaster of Esau upon him At the time I punish him.

9. "If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, They would destroy only until they had enough.

10. "But I have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his hiding places So that he will not be able to conceal himself; His offspring has been destroyed along with his relatives And his neighbors, and he is no more.
