20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has planned against Edom,
    and His purposes that He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock will drag them out;
    surely He will make their habitations desolate because of them.
21 The earth has shaken at the noise of their fall;
    there is an outcry. Its noise has been heard at the Red Sea.
22 He will mount up and fly as the eagle
    and spread his wings against Bozrah;
and in that day the hearts of the mighty men of Edom
    will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

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)
