ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

As to the terror you cause,

your arrogant 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 eagles,

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
