Jeremiah 49:20-22
Living Bible
20 Take note: The Lord will certainly do this to Edom and also the people of Teman—even little children will be dragged away as slaves! It will be a shocking thing to see. 21 The earth shakes with the noise of Edom’s fall; the cry of the people is heard as far away as the Red Sea. 22 The one who will come will fly as swift as a vulture and will spread his wings against Bozrah. Then the courage of the mightiest warriors will disappear like that of women in labor.

Jeremiah 49:20-22
King James Version
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.

English Standard Version
20 Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against (A)Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of (B)Teman: (C)Even the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 21 At the sound of their fall (D)the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea. 22 Behold, (E)one shall mount up and fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against (F)Bozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom shall be in that day like the heart (G)of a woman in her birth pains.”
