19 (A)Behold, (B)like a lion coming up from (C)the jungle of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make him[a] run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. (D)For who is like me? (E)Who will summon me? (F)What shepherd can stand before me? 20 Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against (G)Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of (H)Teman: (I)Even the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 21 At the sound of their fall (J)the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.

19 “Like a lion(A) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(B)
    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(C) me and who can challenge me?(D)
    And what shepherd(E) can stand against me?”

20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(F)
    what he has purposed(G) against those who live in Teman:(H)
The young of the flock(I) will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(J)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(K)
    their cry(L) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]
