Jeremiah 49:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
19 Like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly chase Edom[a] away from it; and I will appoint over it whomsoever I choose.[b] For who is like me? Who can summon me? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me? 20 Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away; surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate. 21 At the sound of their fall the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.[c]
