20 Therefore[a] hear the plan of Yahweh that he has planned against Edom,
    and his plans that he has planned against the inhabitants of Teman.
Surely[b] they will drag them away,
    the little ones of the flock.
Surely[c] he will cause to be desolated over them
    their grazing place.
21 The earth will quake from the sound of their falling.
    A cry of distress! Their voice will be heard at the Red Sea.[d]
22 Look, like an eagle he will go up and he will swoop down,
    and he will spread out his wings against Bozrah.
And the heart of the warriors of Edom will be in that day
    like the heart of a woman who is in labor.
