18. Edom will be destroyed like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrahand the towns around them,” says the Lord.“No one will live there!No man will stay in Edom.
19. “A lion will come from the thick bushes near the Jordan River.And it will go into the rich pastures where people feed their flocks.I am like that lion! I will suddenly chase Edom from their land.Who is the one I have chosen to do this?There is no one like me.There is no one who can challenge me.None of their leaders can stand up against me.”
