Jeremiah 25:23

“The caravans of Tema looked; The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.

The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.

It is He who reduces rulers to nothing, Who makes the judges of the earth utterly formless.

“Before I formed you in the innermost parts I knew you, And before you came out from the womb I set you apart; I have given you as a prophet to the nations.”

Egypt and Judah, and Edom and the sons of Ammon, and Moab and all those inhabiting the desert who clip the hair on their temples; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.”

That which came as the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

“Flee away, turn back, inhabit the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan, For I will bring the disaster of Esau upon him At the time I punish him.

“Their camels will become plunder, And their many cattle for spoil, And I will scatter to all the winds those who cut the corners of their hair; And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares Yahweh.

therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off man and beast from it. And I will lay it waste; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

“The sons of Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were customers at your hand; ivory tusks and ebony they brought as your payment.

“They will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the cities laid waste.

therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession with wholehearted gladness and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for plunder.”
