Jeremias 49:20
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Propterea audite consilium Domini quod iniit de Edom, et cogitationes ejus quas cogitavit de habitatoribus Theman : si non dejecerint eos parvuli gregis, nisi dissipaverint cum eis habitaculum eorum.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 29:21
- διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε βουλὴν Κυρίου ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ λογισμὸν αὐτοῦ ὃν ἐλογίσατο ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Θαιμάν Ἐὰν μὴ συνψηθῶσιν τὰ ἐλάχιστα τῶν προβάτων, ἐὰν μὴ ἀβατωθῇ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν κατάλυσις αὐτῶν·
- Hebrew (WLC)
- לָכֵ֞ן שִׁמְע֣וּ עֲצַת יְהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָעַץ֙ אֶל אֱד֔וֹם וּמַ֨חְשְׁבוֹתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָשַׁ֖ב אֶל יֹשְׁבֵ֣י תֵימָ֑ן אִם לֹ֤א יִסְחָבוּם֙ צְעִירֵ֣י הַצֹּ֔אן אִם לֹ֥א יַשִּׁ֛ים עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם נְוֵהֶֽם
Haydock's commentary
Little. Chaldean, "chiefs of the people." Tsáir (Haydock) is supposed to have this sense, Micheas v. 2. (Calmet)
But the weakest of the Chaldeans will be an overmatch for Edom. (Haydock)
