21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
21 At the sound of their fall the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.
21 The very earth will shudder because of their cries, cries of anguish heard at the distant Red Sea.
21 The earth shakes at the noise of their fall; At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
21 The earth will shake with the noise of Edom's fall, and its cry of despair will be heard all the way to the Red Sea.

Commentary on Jeremiah 49:7-22
(Read Jeremiah 49:7-22)
The Edomites were old enemies to the Israel of God. But their day is now at hand; it is foretold, not only to warn them, but for the sake of the Israel of God, whose afflictions were aggravated by them. Thus Divine judgments go round from nation to nation; the earth is full of commotion, and nothing can escape the ministers of Divine vengeance. The righteousness of God is to be observed amidst the violence of men.
