Jeremiah 49:19-24

New International Version

¹⁹ “Like a lion^(A) coming up from Jordan’s thickets^(B)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like^(C) me and who can challenge me?^(D)
    And what shepherd^(E) can stand against me?”

²⁰ Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,^(F)
    what he has purposed^(G) against those who live in Teman:^(H)
The young of the flock^(I) will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.^(J)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;^(K)
    their cry^(L) will resound to the Red Sea.^[a]
22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop^(M) down,
    spreading its wings over Bozrah.^(N)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors^(O)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.^(P)

“Hamath^(R) and Arpad^(S) are dismayed,
    for they have heard bad news.
They are disheartened,
    troubled like^[b] the restless sea.^(T)
24 Damascus has become feeble,
    she has turned to flee
    and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
    pain like that of a woman in labor.^(U)
