Jeremiah 49:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 Leave behind your orphans;
I will support them,
and your widows will place their trust in me.
12 For thus says the Lord: If those who were not doomed to drink the cup still must drink it, should you alone be the one to go unpunished? You will not go unpunished. You will be required to drink it. 13 For by my own self I have sworn, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become an object of horror and reproach, a desolate wasteland, and a curse, and all her towns will be ruins forevermore.
Jeremiah 49:11-13
New International Version
11 ‘Leave your fatherless children;(A) I will keep them alive.
Your widows(B) too can depend on me.’”
12 This is what the Lord says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup(C) must drink it, why should you go unpunished?(D) You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. 13 I swear(E) by myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah(F) will become a ruin and a curse,[a] an object of horror(G) and reproach;(H) and all its towns will be in ruins forever.”(I)
