Jeremiah 49:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Edom shall become an object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters. 18 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord, no one shall live there, nor shall anyone settle in it. 19 Like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly chase Edom[a] away from it; and I will appoint over it whomever I choose.[b] For who is like me? Who can summon me? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?
