But I have made Esau bare,
I have uncovered his secret places,
and he will not be able to hide himself.
His offspring is destroyed,
with his brothers and his neighbors;
and he is no more.

If thieves came by night,
wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?

I will preserve them alive.
Let your widows trust in me.”
