But afterwards I’ll restore the fortunes of

Prophecies against Edom

To Edom:

This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
    “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
Has counsel perished among the prudent?
    Is their wisdom gone?

    Go to a remote place to stay,
residents of Dedan!
    For I’ll bring Esau’s[b] disaster on him
    at the time when I punish him.
