Jeremiah 49:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ The Lord said, “The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified. ^18 (A)The same thing will happen to Edom that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken. ^19 (B)Like a lion coming out of the thick woods along the Jordan River up to the green pasture land, I will come and make the Edomites run away suddenly from their country. Then the leader I choose will rule the nation. Who can be compared to me? Who would dare challenge me? What ruler could oppose me?
