Jeremiah 49:19-21

Jeremiah 49:19-21
The Voice
19 Like a lion that suddenly emerges from the dense undergrowth beside the Jordan to attack a flock feeding in the lush pasture, so in an instant I will arrive and chase the people of Edom from their land. Then I will put in place a leader of My choosing. For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?
20 That is why you must hear the plan that the Eternal has for Edom, and what He intends to do to those who live in the city of Teman.
Eternal One: The little ones will be dragged away from the flock.
All will scatter when their pasture is left desolate.
21 The sound of Edom’s fall will cause the earth to shake.
Their anguished cry will echo to the Red Sea.[a]

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]
