20. Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out;Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
21. The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
22. Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle,And spread His wings over Bozrah;The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall beLike the heart of a woman in birth pangs.
23. Against Damascus.“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,For they have heard bad news.They are fainthearted;There is trouble on the sea;It cannot be quiet.
24. Damascus has grown feeble;She turns to flee,And fear has seized her.Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor.
25. Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
