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.

        Their anguished cry will echo to the Red Sea.[a]

        will be like the heart of a woman in labor—helpless and vulnerable.
