Jeremiah 49:9LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 9 of 39
"If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough."
In context
7Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time I will visit him.
9If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he not.
11Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
