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)
