Jeremiah 49:19-21

Settings

19 "1Behold, one will come up like a lion from the 2thickets of the Jordan against a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is 3chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is 4like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd 5who can stand against Me?"
20 Therefore hear the 6plan of the LORD which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely * they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely * He will make their pasture 7desolate because of them.
21 The 8earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the Red * Sea.
