Jeremiah 49:19-21
Complete Jewish Bible
19 It will be like a lion coming up from the thickets
of the Yarden against a strong settlement:
in an instant I will chase him away
and appoint over it whomever I choose.
For who is like me? Who can call me to account?
What shepherd can stand up to me?”
20 So hear the plan of Adonai
that he has devised against Edom,
and his purpose that he will accomplish
against those who live in Teman:
the least of the flock will drag them away;
their own pasture will be in shock at them.
21 The earth quakes at the sound of their fall;
their cry can be heard at the Sea of Suf.

Jeremiah 49:19-21
New International Version
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]
