[9] If grapegatherers  come  to thee, would they not leave  some gleaning grapes?  if thieves  by night,  they will destroy  till they have enough.  [10] But I have made Esau  bare,  I have uncovered  his secret places,  and he shall not be able  to hide  himself: his seed  is spoiled,  and his brethren,  and his neighbours, 

What does Jeremiah 49:9-10 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Grape pickers and thieves normally left some things behind, but Yahweh would leave no Edomites untouched by the judgment He would bring on this nation. He would remove every covering that protected all these people (cf. Obadiah 1:5-6).
