17 “And Edom will become as a horror,
    everyone who passes by it[a] will be appalled,
    and will hiss because of all its blows.
18 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
    and their neighbors,” says Yahweh,
no one[b] will live there,
    and the son of humankind will not dwell as an alien in it.
19 Look, like a lion he comes up from the thickets of the Jordan
    to a pastureland by a constantly flowing stream.[c]
So I will chase him away hurriedly[d] from it.
    And whoever is chosen I will appoint over it.
For who is like me, and who can summon me?
    And who is this, the shepherd who can stand before me?”[e]
