Jeremiah 49:11 in context

  1. 9If grape gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
    If thieves came by night,
    wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?
  2. 10But I have made Esau bare,
    I have uncovered his secret places,
    and he will not be able to hide himself.
    His offspring is destroyed,
    with his brothers and his neighbors;
    and he is no more.
  3. 11Leave your fatherless children.
    I will preserve them alive.
    Let your widows trust in me.”
  4. 12For Yahweh says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will surely drink.
  5. 13For I have sworn by myself,” says Yahweh, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”
