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

  1. Jeremiah 49:21 Or the Sea of Reeds

20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.

21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
