19 Look, like a lion he comes up from the thickets of the Jordan
    to a pastureland by a constantly flowing stream.[a]
So I will chase him away hurriedly[b] from it.
    And whoever is chosen I will appoint over it.
For who is like me, and who can summon me?
    And who is this, the shepherd who can stand before me?”[c]
20 Therefore[d] hear the plan of Yahweh that he has planned against Edom,
    and his plans that he has planned against the inhabitants of Teman.
Surely[e] they will drag them away,
    the little ones of the flock.
Surely[f] he will cause to be desolated over them
    their grazing place.
21 The earth will quake from the sound of their falling.
    A cry of distress! Their voice will be heard at the Red Sea.[g]
