Jeremiah 49:9
New Living Translation
9 Those who harvest grapes
always leave a few for the poor.
If thieves came at night,
they would not take everything.
Obadiah 5-6
New Living Translation
5 “If thieves came at night and robbed you
(what a disaster awaits you!),
they would not take everything.
Those who harvest grapes
always leave a few for the poor.
But your enemies will wipe you out completely!
6 Every nook and cranny of Edom[a]
will be searched and looted.
Every treasure will be found and taken.

Isaiah 17:6
New Living Translation
6 Only a few of its people will be left,
like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.
Only two or three remain in the highest branches,
four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,”
declares the Lord, the God of Israel.
