Jeremiah 49:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 If the [a]grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leave some grapes? if thieves come by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10 For I have discovered Esau: I have uncovered his secrets, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren and his neighbors, and there shall be none to say,
11 Leave thy [b]fatherless children, and I will preserve them alive, and let thy widows trust in me.
