Jeremiah 49:17-20 Jehovah said: »The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Jehovah said: »The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified. ¹⁸ »The same thing will happen to Edom that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I Jehovah have spoken. ¹⁹ »Like a lion coming out of the thick woods along the Jordan River up to the green pastureland, I will come and make the Edomites run away suddenly from their country. Then the leader I choose will rule the nation. Who can be compared to me? Who would dare challenge me? What ruler could oppose me?« ²⁰ Hear that which I have determined against the people of Edom, and to what I intend to do to the people of the city of Teman. Even their children will be dragged off, and everyone will be horrified.
