Jeremiah 49:20-22
American Standard Version
20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely [a]they shall drag them away, even the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their [b]habitation [c]desolate over them. 21 The earth trembleth at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea. 22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Jeremiah 49:20-22
New International Version
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(A)
what he has purposed(B) against those who live in Teman:(C)
The young of the flock(D) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(E)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(F)
their cry(G) will resound to the Red Sea.[a]
22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop(H) down,
spreading its wings over Bozrah.(I)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors(J)
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(K)
