“If 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?”
Jeremiah 49:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7Of Edom, Yahweh of Armies says:“Is wisdom no more in Teman?Has counsel perished from the prudent?Has their wisdom vanished? 8Flee! Turn back!Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan;for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him. 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? 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. 11Leave your fatherless children.I will preserve them alive.Let your widows trust in me.”
