Jeremiah 49:11-13
New International Reader's Version
11 ‘Leave your children whose fathers have died.
I will keep them alive.
Your widows can also depend on me.’ ”
12 The Lord says, “What if those who do not have to drink the cup must drink it anyway? Then shouldn’t you be punished? You will certainly be punished. You must drink the cup. 13 I make a promise in my own name. Bozrah will be destroyed,” announces the Lord. “People will be shocked at it. They will say Bozrah is a shameful place. They will use its name as a curse. And all its towns will be destroyed forever.”
