Jeremiah 49:9

If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.

If grapegatherers {H1219} come {H935} to thee, would they not leave {H7604} some gleaning grapes {H5955}? if thieves {H1590} by night {H3915}, they will destroy {H7843} till they have enough {H1767}.

If grape-pickers came to you, they would leave no grapes for gleaning. If thieves came at night, they would destroy until they were satisfied.

If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted?

If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?
