Jeremiah 49:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
your widows, let them trust in me.(A)
12 For thus says the Lord: Look, even those not sentenced to drink the cup must drink it! Shall you then go unpunished? You shall not! You shall drink every bit of it!(B) 13 By myself I have sworn—oracle of the Lord—Bozrah[a] shall become an object of horror, a disgrace, a desolation, and a curse. Bozrah and all its cities shall become ruins forever.(C)

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)
