What does Jeremiah 49:9 mean?

If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave a few grapes? If thieves came at night, they’d only take what they wanted. But I’ll strip Esau bare. Jeremiah 49:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Unlike thieves or grape pickers who leave something behind, God’s judgment on Edom will leave them with nothing.)
