5–14“If thieves crept up on you,
they’d rob you blind—isn’t that so?
If they mugged you on the streets at night,
they’d pick you clean—isn’t that so?

If thieves came to you,
if plunderers came by night—
how you have been destroyed!—

If grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?

“If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—

If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?

If thieves came to you,
if marauders by night—
how ravaged you would be!—

“If thieves came at night and robbed you
(what a disaster awaits you!),
they would not take everything.
Those who harvest grapes
always leave a few for the poor.
But your enemies will wipe you out completely!
