Jeremiah 49:18-21
Christian Standard Bible
18 As when Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,”(A) says the Lord, “no one will live there; no human being will stay in it even temporarily.(B)
19 “Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[a] of the Jordan to the watered grazing land.(C) I will chase Edom away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like me?(D) Who will issue me a summons?(E) Who is the shepherd who can stand against me?” (F)
20 Therefore, hear the plans that the Lord has drawn up against Edom and the strategies he has devised against the people of Teman:(G) The flock’s little lambs will certainly be dragged away,(H) and their grazing land will be made desolate because of them.(I) 21 At the sound of their fall the earth will quake;(J) the sound of her cry will be heard at the Red Sea.(K)

Jeremiah 49:18-21
New International Version
18 As Sodom(A) and Gomorrah(B) were overthrown,
along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell(C) in it.
19 “Like a lion(D) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(E)
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(F) me and who can challenge me?(G)
And what shepherd(H) can stand against me?”
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(I)
what he has purposed(J) against those who live in Teman:(K)
The young of the flock(L) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(M)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(N)
their cry(O) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]

Jeremiah 49:18-21
King James Version
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
