20 Therefore hear the (A)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their [a]pasture (B)desolate because of them. 21 The (C)earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the [b]Red Sea. 22 Behold, [c]He will mount up and (D)swoop like an eagle and spread out His wings [d]against Bozrah; and the (E)hearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

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)
