Shall I not? this interrogation is a strong assertion, I certainly will. In that day, of war and desolation of Edom, when Nebuchadnezzar with his armies shall invade Idumea. Destroy; either by war or sicknesses take the wise men out of Edom, they shall die; or deprive them of places of trust where they might help to save Edom; or else turn their wisdom into foolishness, as Ahithophel's was. The wise men; men of sound counsel and good conduct in the affairs of peace and war. And understanding out of the mount of Esau; an elegant ingemination for illustrating and confirming the prediction. All Edom shall miserably perish, not a wise man left to foresee and prevent it.
