Jeremiah 49:10
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not. But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Jeremiah 49:10 belongs among the prophecies that pronounce doom upon the kingdoms surrounding Israel. More particularly, it stands within Jeremiah's prophecy concerning Edom, whose power was to fall before Nebuchadnezzar. It declares that Esau would be made bare, his secret places uncovered so that he could not hide himself, and his seed, brethren, and neighbours spoiled until he was no more, meaning that Edom would be laid bare and left without inhabitants. That desolation is seen in Petra, the capital of Edom, whose houses, theatre, columns, and gateways remain standing intact yet deserted.
