17 “Edom will become an astonishment.
    Everyone who passes by it will be astonished,
    and will hiss at all its plagues.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh,
    “no man will dwell there,
    neither will any son of man live therein.

19 “Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation:
    for I will suddenly make them run away from it;
and whoever is chosen,
    I will appoint him over it.
For who is like me?
    Who will appoint me a time?
    Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”

17 “Edom will become an object of horror;(A)
    all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff

    along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
    no people will dwell(E) in it.

19 “Like a lion(F) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(G)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like(H) me and who can challenge me?(I)
    And what shepherd(J) can stand against me?”
