20. Therefore hear the plan that the Lord has made against Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman: Even the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate.
21. At the sound of their fall the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.
22. Behold, one shall mount up and fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Bozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains.”
23. Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded,for they have heard bad news;they melt in fear, they are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.
24. Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee,and panic seized her;anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,as of a woman in labor.
25. How is the famous city not forsaken,the city of my joy?
26. Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares,and all her soldiers shall be destroyed in that day,declares the Lord of hosts.
