17 Edom shall become an object of horror. Passersby recoil in terror, hissing at all its wounds. 18 As when Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighbors were overthrown—oracle of the Lord—no one shall live in it, nor anyone settle there.(A)

19 As when a lion comes up from a thicket of the Jordan
    to a permanent pasture,
So in an instant, I will chase them off;
    I will establish there whomever I choose.
For who is like me? Who holds me accountable?
    What shepherd can stand against me?(B)

17 “Edom will become an object of horror;(A)
    all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff
    because of all its wounds.(B)
18 As Sodom(C) and Gomorrah(D) were overthrown,
    along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
    no people will dwell(E) in it.

19 “Like a lion(F) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(G)
    to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
    Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like(H) me and who can challenge me?(I)
    And what shepherd(J) can stand against me?”
