Jeremiah 49:14-22

14 aI have heard a message from the Lord,
and an envoy has been sent among the nations:
b“Gather yourselves together and come against her,
and rise up for battle!
15For behold, I will make you small among the nations,
despised among mankind.
16The horror you inspire has deceived you,
and the pride of your heart,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Or  of Sela

who hold the height of the hill.
Though you dmake your nest as high as the eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there,

declares the Lord.
17 eEdom shall become a horror. fEveryone who passes by it will be horrified gand will hiss because of all its disasters. 18 hAs when Sodom and Gomorrah and their ineighboring cities were overthrown, says the Lord, jno man shall dwell there, kno man shall sojourn in her. 19 lBehold, mlike a lion coming up from nthe jungle of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make him
Septuagint, Syriac them
run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. pFor who is like me? qWho will summon me? rWhat shepherd can stand before me?
20Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against sEdom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of tTeman: uEven the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 21At the sound of their fall vthe earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea. 22Behold, wone shall mount up and fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against xBozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom shall be in that day like the heart yof a woman in her birth pains.”
