Jeremiah 49:14-22

14I have 1heard a message from the Lord, And a 2messenger is being 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 people.16As for the terror you cause, The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, 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 appalled and will 910hiss at all its wounds. 18Like the 11overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “12no one will live there, nor will 13anyone of mankind reside in it. 1914Behold, one will come up like a lion from the 15thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will chase him away from it, and I will appoint over it whoever is 16chosen. 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 in mind against the inhabitants of Teman: they will certainly drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; He will certainly make their pasture 20desolate because of them. 21The 21earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the 22Red Sea. 22Behold, 23He will mount up and 24swoop like an eagle, and spread out His wings 25against Bozrah; and the 26hearts of the warriors of Edom on that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
