15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,

despised by mankind.

16 The terror you inspire

and the pride of your heart have deceived you,

you who live in the clefts of the rocks,

who occupy the heights of the hill.

Though you build your nest as high as the eagle’s,

from there I will bring you down,”

declares the Lord.

17 “Edom will become an object of horror;

all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff

because of all its wounds.

15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations,

despised among mankind.

16 The horror you inspire has deceived you,

and the pride of your heart,

you who live in the clefts of the rock,

who hold the height of the hill.

Though you make your nest as high as the eagle’s,

I will bring you down from there,

declares the Lord.

17 “Edom shall become a horror. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.

15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen,

And despised among men.

16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart,

O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock,

That holdest the height of the hill:

Though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle,

I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.

17 Also Edom shall be a desolation:

Every one that goeth by it shall be astonished,

And shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

15 The Lord says to Edom,

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

You will be despised by all.

16 You have been deceived

by the fear you inspire in others

and by your own pride.

You live in a rock fortress

and control the mountain heights.

But even if you make your nest among the peaks with the eagles,

I will bring you crashing down,”

says the Lord.

17 “Edom will be an object of horror.

All who pass by will be appalled

and will gasp at the destruction they see there.

15 “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,

Despised among men.

16 Your fierceness has deceived you,

The pride of your heart,

O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,

Who hold the height of the hill!

Though you make your nest as high as the eagle,

I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;

Everyone who goes by it will be astonished

And will hiss at all its plagues.

15 “Soon I will make you the smallest of nations,

and you will be greatly hated by everyone.

16 Edom, you frightened other nations,

but your pride has fooled you.

You live in the hollow places of the cliff

and control the high places of the hills.

Even if you build your home as high as an eagle’s nest,

I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

17 “Edom will be destroyed.

People who pass by will be shocked to see the destroyed cities,

and they will be amazed at all her injuries.

15 For, behold, I have made thee small among the nations, and despised among men. 16 As for thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah. 17 And Edom shall become an astonishment: every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

15 For behold, I have made thee small among the nations, despised among men. 16 Thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart, hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill. Though thou shouldest make thy nest high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah. 17 And Edom shall be an astonishment: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all the plagues thereof.

15 “Edom, I will make you the smallest of nations 

and despised among humanity. 

16 You have frightened other people. 

Your arrogance has deceived you. 

You live on rocky cliffs 

and occupy the highest places in the hills. 

Even though you build your nest as high as an eagle, 

I will bring you down from there,” declares the Lord. 

17 “Then Edom will become something horrible. 

Everyone who passes by it will be horrified 

and hiss at all its wounds. 

15 Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations,

despised among humanity.

16 As to the terror you cause,

your presumptuous heart has deceived you.

You who live in the clefts of the rock,

you who occupy the mountain summit,

though you elevate your nest like the eagle,

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

17 “Edom will become a desolation. Everyone who passes by her will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds.

15 For I will make you least among the nations,

despised by humankind.

16 The terror you inspire

and the pride of your heart have deceived you,

you who live in the clefts of the rock,

who hold the height of the hill.

Although you make your nest as high as the eagle’s,

from there I will bring you down,

says the Lord.

17 Edom shall become an object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.

15 “For look, I will make you small among the nations,

despised by the humankind.

16 Your terror has deceived you,

the pride of your heart,

O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,

you who seize the height of the hill.

Though you make your nest high like the eagle,

from there I will bring you down,” declares Yahweh.

17 “And Edom will become as a horror,

everyone who passes by it will be appalled,

and will hiss because of all its blows.

15 The Lord says to Edom, “I will make you weak among the nations.

They will look down on you.

16 You live in the safety of the rocks.

You live on top of the hills.

But the terror you stir up has now turned against you.

Your proud heart has tricked you.

You build your nest as high as an eagle does.

But I will bring you down from there,”

announces the Lord.

17 “People of Edom,

all those who pass by you will be shocked.

They will make fun of you

because of all of your wounds.
