17 “Edom will be ·destroyed [desolate].
    People who pass by will be shocked to see the destroyed cities,
    and they will ·be amazed [hiss] at all her ·injuries [disasters].
18 Edom will be ·destroyed [overturned] like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah [Gen. 18—19]
    and the towns around them,” says the Lord.
“No one will live there!
    No one will ·stay [sojourn; wander] in it [C Edom].

19 “Like a lion coming up from the thick bushes near the Jordan River
    to attack ·a strong pen for sheep [or perennial pastures; 50:44],
I will suddenly chase it [C Edom] from its land.
    Who is the one I have ·chosen [appointed] to do this?
·There is no one [L Who is…?] like me,
    ·no one who [L who…?] can take me to court.
·None of their leaders [L Who is the shepherd who…?] can stand up against me.”
