2 “See, I will make you small among the nations;

you will be utterly despised.

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,

you who live in the clefts of the rocks

and make your home on the heights,

you who say to yourself,

‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen:

Thou art greatly despised.

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee,

Thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high;

That saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

2 The Lord says to Edom,

“I will cut you down to size among the nations;

you will be greatly despised.

3 You have been deceived by your own pride

because you live in a rock fortress

and make your home high in the mountains.

‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’

you ask boastfully.

2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;

You shall be greatly despised.

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,

You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,

Whose habitation is high;

You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

2 “Soon I will make you the smallest of nations.

You will be greatly hated by everyone.

3 Your pride has fooled you,

you who live in the hollow places of the cliff.

Your home is up high,

you who say to yourself,

‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. 3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations; thou art greatly despised. 3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; —he that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

2 “Edom, I will make you the smallest of nations. 

Others will despise you. 

3 Your arrogance has deceived you. 

You live on rocky cliffs. 

You make your home up high. 

You say to yourself, 

‘No one can bring me down to earth.’ 

2 Look, I will make you insignificant

among the nations;

you will be deeply despised.

3 Your presumptuous heart has deceived you,

you who live in clefts of the rock

in your home on the heights,

who say to yourself,

“Who can bring me down to the ground?”

2 I will surely make you least among the nations;

you shall be utterly despised.

3 Your proud heart has deceived you,

you that live in the clefts of the rock,

whose dwelling is in the heights.

You say in your heart,

“Who will bring me down to the ground?”

2 “Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be utterly despised! 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of a rock, the heights of its dwelling, you who say in your heart: ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

2 The Lord says to Edom,

“I will make you weak among the nations.

They will look down on you.

3 You live in the safety of the rocks.

You make your home high up in the mountains.

But your proud heart has tricked you.

So you say to yourself,

‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’

2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;

You are greatly despised.

3 “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,

You who live in the clefts of the rock,

In the loftiness of your dwelling place,

Who say in your heart,

‘Who will bring me down to earth?’
