Jeremiah 49:20-22
Living Bible
20 Take note: The Lord will certainly do this to Edom and also the people of Teman—even little children will be dragged away as slaves! It will be a shocking thing to see. 21 The earth shakes with the noise of Edom’s fall; the cry of the people is heard as far away as the Red Sea. 22 The one who will come will fly as swift as a vulture and will spread his wings against Bozrah. Then the courage of the mightiest warriors will disappear like that of women in labor.

Jeremiah 49:20-22
New International Version
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(A)
what he has purposed(B) against those who live in Teman:(C)
The young of the flock(D) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(E)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(F)
their cry(G) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]
22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop(H) down,
spreading its wings over Bozrah.(I)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors(J)
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(K)
