Jeremiah 49:18-21
Christian Standard Bible
18 As when Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,”(A) says the Lord, “no one will live there; no human being will stay in it even temporarily.(B)
19 “Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[a] of the Jordan to the watered grazing land.(C) I will chase Edom away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like me?(D) Who will issue me a summons?(E) Who is the shepherd who can stand against me?” (F)
20 Therefore, hear the plans that the Lord has drawn up against Edom and the strategies he has devised against the people of Teman:(G) The flock’s little lambs will certainly be dragged away,(H) and their grazing land will be made desolate because of them.(I) 21 At the sound of their fall the earth will quake;(J) the sound of her cry will be heard at the Red Sea.(K)

Jeremiah 49:18-21
New International Version
18 As Sodom(A) and Gomorrah(B) were overthrown,
along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell(C) in it.
19 “Like a lion(D) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(E)
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(F) me and who can challenge me?(G)
And what shepherd(H) can stand against me?”
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(I)
what he has purposed(J) against those who live in Teman:(K)
The young of the flock(L) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(M)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(N)
their cry(O) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]
