20. Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he has taken against Edom;and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman:Surely they will drag them away,the little ones of the flock.Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
21. The earth trembles at the noise of their fall;there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Sea of Suf.
22. Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle,and spread out his wings against Bozrah.The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23. Of Damascus:“Hamath is confounded, and Arpad;for they have heard evil news.They have melted away.There is sorrow on the sea.It can’t be quiet.
24. Damascus has grown feeble,she turns herself to flee,and trembling has seized her.Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,as of a woman in travail.
25. How is the city of praise not forsaken,the city of my joy?
26. Therefore her young men will fall in her streets,and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,”says the Lord of Hosts.
