Jeremiah 49:18-20
Good News Translation

18 (A)The same thing will happen to Edom that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken. 19 (B)Like a lion coming out of the thick woods along the Jordan River up to the green pasture land, I will come and make the Edomites run away suddenly from their country. Then the leader I choose will rule the nation. Who can be compared to me? Who would dare challenge me? What ruler could oppose me? 20 So listen to the plan that I have made against the people of Edom, and to what I intend to do to the people of the city of Teman. Even their children will be dragged off, and everyone will be horrified.

Jeremiah 49:18-20
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)
