Jeremiah 49:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
your widows, let them trust in me.(A)
12 For thus says the Lord: Look, even those not sentenced to drink the cup must drink it! Shall you then go unpunished? You shall not! You shall drink every bit of it!(B) 13 By myself I have sworn—oracle of the Lord—Bozrah[a] shall become an object of horror, a disgrace, a desolation, and a curse. Bozrah and all its cities shall become ruins forever.(C)
