Context of Jeremiah 49:10

8You people who live in Dedan, run away and escape! Go and find somewhere safe to hide! The time has come for me to punish Esau's descendants. I will cause them to have terrible trouble. 9If people came to pick your grapes, they would leave a few grapes on the vines. If robbers came at night to take your things, they would only take the things that they needed. But I will take everything from Esau's descendants, so that they have nothing. I will open their secret places, so that they have nowhere to hide. The enemy will destroy them and their children, family and friends. None of them will remain alive. 11But I will take care of your widows and the children who have no family. You can trust me to keep them safe.’ 12The Lord says, ‘I had to punish even those people who did not deserve my great punishment. So you will certainly not escape my punishment! You will have to drink my anger from the cup that I give to you.
