Jeremiah 49:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible
20 So listen to me, the Lord!
This is what I have decided to do to Edom.
Yes, this is the trouble that I will bring to the people who live in Teman.
Soldiers will catch their children and take them away,
like little lambs that they take from their mothers.
I will completely destroy their homes.
21 When Edom's people fall,
the noise will cause the whole earth to shake.
The sound of their sad voices will reach as far as the Red Sea.
22 A nation will rise up high, like an eagle in the sky.
It will fly down to catch its food in Bozrah!
When the brave soldiers of Edom see that, they will become very afraid.
They will be afraid, like a woman who will soon give birth.’
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)
