Jeremiah 49:13-22

13For I have swornH7650 by myself, saith Jehovah, that BozrahH1224 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2723, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall beH1961 perpetual wastesH2723.

14I have heardH8085 tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, GatherH6908 yourselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and riseH6965 up to the battleH4421. 15For, behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the nationsH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120. 16As for thy terribleness, the prideH2087 of thy heartH3820 hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdest the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH4791 as the eagleH5404, I will bringH3381 thee downH3381 from thence, saith Jehovah. 17And EdomH123 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall beH1961 astonished, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof. 18As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighborH7934 cities thereof, saith Jehovah, no manH376 shall dwellH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH376 sojourn therein. 19Behold, he shall comeH5927 up like a lionH738 from the prideH1347 of the JordanH3383 against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them runH7323 away from it; and whoso is chosenH977, him will I appointH6485 over it: for who is like me? and who will appointH6485 me a time? and who is the shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 before me?

20ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of Jehovah, that he hath taken against EdomH123; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: Surely they shall dragH5498 them away, even the little onesH6810 of the flockH6629; surely he shall makeH8074 their habitation desolateH8074 over them. 21The earthH776 trembleth at the noise of their fallH5307; there is a cryH6818, the noise whereof is heardH8085 in the Red SeaH3220. 22Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 out his wingsH3671 against BozrahH1224: and the heartH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of EdomH123 at that dayH3117 shall beH1961 as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangs.
