And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!
The apride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
bThough you make your cnest as high as the eagle,
dI will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
aEveryone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
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?”
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.
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
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.
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
aAnguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in1 labor.
