17 “Then Edom will become something horrible.
    Everyone who passes by it will be horrified
        and hiss at all its wounds.
18 Edom will be like Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighboring cities
    when they were destroyed.
        No one will live there.
        No human will stay there,” says Yahweh.
19 “I will suddenly chase them from their places
    like a lion coming out of the jungle
        along the Jordan River into pastureland.
            I will appoint over Edom whomever I choose.
                Who is like me? Who can challenge me?
                    Is there any leader who can stand up to me?”

    no people will dwell(E) in it.

19 “Like a lion(F) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(G)
    to a rich pastureland,

Who is like(H) me and who can challenge me?(I)
    And what shepherd(J) can stand against me?”
