Jeremiah 49:6-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. “But the time will comewhen I will make good things happen to the Ammonites again,”says the Lord.

7. This message is about Edom. This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says:“Is there no more wisdom in Teman?Can the wise men of Edom no longer give good advice?Have they lost their wisdom?

8. You people living in Dedan,run away and hide in deep caves.This is because I will punishthe people of Esau with disaster for what they did.

9. If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,they would leave a few grapes behind.If robbers came at night,they would steal only enough for themselves.

10. But I will strip Esau bare.I will find all their hiding places.They will not be able to hide from me.The children, relatives and neighbors will die.

11. Leave the orphans, and I will take care of them.Your widows also can trust in me.”
