Jeremiah 49:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
“Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths [of the desert to escape the judgment of Edom],
O inhabitants of [a]Dedan,
For I will bring the destruction of [b]Esau (Edom) upon him
When I inspect and punish him.
9
“If grape gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some ungleaned grapes [on the vines]?
If thieves came by night,
Would they not destroy [only] what is enough [for them]?
10
“But I have stripped Esau (Edom) bare;
I have uncovered his hiding places
And he cannot hide himself.
His descendants have been destroyed along with his brothers (relatives) and his neighbors;
And he is no more.

Jeremiah 49:8-10
New International Version
8 Turn and flee, hide in deep caves,(A)
you who live in Dedan,(B)
for I will bring disaster on Esau
at the time when I punish him.
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,(C)
so that he cannot conceal himself.
His armed men are destroyed,
also his allies and neighbors,
so there is no one(D) to say,
