19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the [a]pride of the Jordan [b]against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that will stand before me? 20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely [c]they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their [d]habitation [e]desolate over them. 21 The earth trembleth at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea.

19 “Like a lion(A) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(B)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like(C) me and who can challenge me?(D)
    And what shepherd(E) can stand against me?”

20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(F)
    what he has purposed(G) against those who live in Teman:(H)
The young of the flock(I) will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(J)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(K)
    their cry(L) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]
