Jeremiah 12:5

And if you feel secure only in safe and open country,

how will you manage in the thick undergrowth along the Jordan River?

49:19 “A lion coming up from the thick undergrowth along the Jordan

scatters the sheep in the pastureland around it.

Then I will appoint over it whomever I choose.

There is no ruler who can stand up against me.
