Jeremiah 49:19-21

Settings

19 1Behold, 2like a lion coming up from 3the jungle of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make him[a] run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. 4For who is like me? 5Who will summon me? 6What shepherd can stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the plan that the LORD has made against 7Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of 8Teman: 9Even 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 10the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.
