Jeremiah 49:19-22
19‘I will attack the people of Edom and I will chase them out of their land. I will be like a lion that has been hiding in the forest. It attacks the sheep in the fields beside the Jordan River. Like that lion, I will suddenly chase Edom's people out of their country. Then I will choose a leader to rule that nation. There is nobody who is like me. Nobody can accuse me of anything. No ruler can stand against me.
20So listen to me, the Lord! This is what I have decided to do to Edom. Yes, this is the trouble that I will bring to the people who live in Teman. Soldiers will catch their children and take them away, like little lambs that they take from their mothers. I will completely destroy their homes.
21When Edom's people fall, the noise will cause the whole earth to shake. The sound of their sad voices will reach as far as the Red Sea.
22A nation will rise up high, like an eagle in the sky. It will fly down to catch its food in Bozrah! When the brave soldiers of Edom see that, they will become very afraid. They will be afraid, like a woman who will soon give birth.’
