Jeremiah 49:18-20

Contemporary English Version

^19 (B) I, the Lord, will attack you
    like a lion from the forest,
attacking sheep in a meadow
    along the Jordan.
In a moment the flock runs,
    and the land is empty.
Who will I choose to attack you?
    I will do it myself!
No one can force me to fight
    or chase me away.
²⁰ Listen to my plans for you,
    people of Edom.^[a]
Your children will be dragged off
    and your country destroyed.
