Jeremiah 49:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
    and their surrounding towns,
        says the Lord.
        No one will live there;
        no human will dwell in it.
¹⁹ Like a lion coming up
    from the jungle of the Jordan
        to a well-watered meadow,^[a]
        so I will suddenly chase down Edom
            and single out its choicest of rams.^[b]
Who is like me?
    Who can direct me?
    What shepherd can withstand me?
²⁰ Therefore, listen to the counsel
    that the Lord has for Edom
    and the plans he’s devised
        against the people of Teman:
        The little ones of the flock
            will be dragged off,
        as their pasture watches
            in utter disbelief.^[c]
