20 That is why you must hear the plan that the Eternal has for Edom, and what He intends to do to those who live in the city of Teman.

Eternal One: The little ones will be dragged away from the flock.
        All will scatter when their pasture is left desolate.
21     The sound of Edom’s fall will cause the earth to shake.
        Their anguished cry will echo to the Red Sea.[a]
22     Look, an eagle is rising, spreading its wings!
        Soon it will swoop down and attack Bozrah.
    On that day, the heart of Edom’s warriors
        will be like the heart of a woman in labor—helpless and vulnerable.
