“Their kings will come and set up their thrones
    in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem;
they will come against all her surrounding walls
    and against all the towns of Judah.^(A)

¹⁷ They surround^(A) her like men guarding a field,
    because she has rebelled^(B) against me,’”
declares the Lord.

²⁰ Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,^(A)
    what he has purposed^(B) against those who live in Teman:^(C)
The young of the flock^(D) will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.^(E)

⁴⁵ Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
    what he has purposed^(A) against the land of the Babylonians:^(B)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
    their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
