Jeremiah 49:9-13
New International Version
9 If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
If thieves came during the night,
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
10 But I will strip Esau bare;
I will uncover his hiding places,(A)
so that he cannot conceal himself.
His armed men are destroyed,
also his allies and neighbors,
so there is no one(B) to say,
11 ‘Leave your fatherless children;(C) I will keep them alive.
Your widows(D) too can depend on me.’”
12 This is what the Lord says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup(E) must drink it, why should you go unpunished?(F) You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. 13 I swear(G) by myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah(H) will become a ruin and a curse,[a] an object of horror(I) and reproach;(J) and all its towns will be in ruins forever.”(K)
