Jeremiah 49:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Edom, suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines.
    They would still leave a few grapes.
Suppose robbers came at night.
    They would steal only as much as they wanted.
¹⁰ But I will strip everything away from Esau’s people.
    I will uncover their hiding places.
    They will not be able to hide anywhere.
Their army is destroyed.
    Their friends and neighbors are destroyed.
    So there is no one to say,
¹¹ ‘Leave your children whose fathers have died.
    I will keep them alive.
    Your widows can also depend on me.’ ”
