Jeremiah 49:20
Compare all
18 aAs in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it. 
19 “Behold,a he shall come up like a lion from bthe floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For cwho is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And dwho is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?” 
20 aTherefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall1 draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them. 
21 aThe earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea. 
22 Behold, aHe shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.  

Judgment on Damascus

23 aAgainst Damascus.
b“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
cThere is1 trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet. 
24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
aAnguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in1 labor. 
25 Why is athe city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy? 
26 aTherefore her young men shall fall in her streets,
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
