Jeremiah 49:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ “Edom shall become a horror; every one who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters. ¹⁸ As when Sodom and Gomor′rah and their neighbor cities were overthrown, says the Lord, no man shall dwell there, no man shall sojourn in her. ¹⁹ Behold, like a lion coming up from the jungle of the Jordan against a strong sheepfold, I will suddenly make them^[a] run away from her; and I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who will summon me? What shepherd can stand before me?
