Jeremiah 49:14-22

14I have 1heard a message from the Lord, And an 2envoy is sent among the nations, saying, “3Gather yourselves together and come against her, And rise up for battle!”15“For behold, I have made you small among the nations, Despised among men.16As for the terror of you, The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, O you who live in the clefts of 4the 5rock, Who occupy the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as 6high as an eagle’s, I will 7bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.

17“Edom will become an 8object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will 9hiss at all its wounds. 18Like the 10overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “11no one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it. 1912Behold, one will come up like a lion from the 1314thickets of the Jordan against 15a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is 16chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is 17like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd 18who can stand against Me?”

20Therefore hear the 19plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their 20pasture 21desolate because of them. 21The 22earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the 23Red Sea. 22Behold, 24He will mount up and 25swoop like an eagle and spread out His wings 26against Bozrah; and the 27hearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
