Jeremiah 49:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ “A lion will come from the thick bushes near the Jordan River.
    And it will go into the rich pastures where people feed their flocks.
I am like that lion! I will suddenly chase Edom from their land.
    Who is the one I have chosen to do this?
There is no one like me.
    There is no one who can challenge me.
    None of their leaders can stand up against me.”

²⁰ So listen to what the Lord has planned to do against Edom.
    Listen to what he has decided to do to the people in Teman.
The Lord will surely drag away the young ones of Edom.
    Edom’s pastures will surely be destroyed because of them.
²¹ At the sound of Edom’s fall, the earth will shake.
    Their cry will be heard all the way to the Gulf of Aqaba.
