Job’s three friends heard about all the bad things that happened to him, so Eliphaz came from Teman, Bildad from Shuah, and Zophar from Naamah. They met together and went to comfort Job and show him their sympathy.
So the Lord GOD says: “I will punish Edom. I will destroy the people and the animals in Edom. I will destroy the whole country of Edom, all the way from Teman to Dedan. The Edomites will be killed in battle.
So listen to what the Lord has planned to do to the people of Edom. Listen to what he has decided to do to the people in Teman. The enemy will drag away the young kids of Edom’s flock. Edom’s pastures will be empty because of what they did.
This message is about Edom. This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “Is there no more wisdom in Teman? Are the wise men of Edom not able to give good advice? Have they lost their wisdom?
