Jeremiah 49:17-19
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 49:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 People passing by your country
will be shocked and horrified
to see a disaster
18 (A) as bad as the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah
and towns nearby.
The towns of Edom will be empty.
19 (B) I, the Lord, will attack you
like a lion from the forest,
attacking sheep in a meadow
along the Jordan.
In a moment the flock runs,
and the land is empty.
Who will I choose to attack you?
I will do it myself!
No one can force me to fight
or chase me away.
