Jeremiah 49:14–16

I have heard a message from the Lord,

and an envoy has been sent among the nations:

“Gather yourselves together and come against her,

and rise up for battle!

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

despised among mankind.

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.

I have heard a message from the Lord;

an envoy was sent to the nations to say,

“Assemble yourselves to attack it!

Rise up for battle!”

“Now I will make you small among the nations,

despised by mankind.

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.

I have heard an envoy from the Lord;

a messenger has been sent among the nations:

Assemble yourselves to come against her.

Rise up for war!

I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations,

despised among humanity.

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.

I have heard a message from the Lord

that an ambassador was sent to the nations to say,

“Form a coalition against Edom,

and prepare for battle!”

The Lord says to Edom,

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

You will be despised by all.

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.

I have heard a message from Yahweh,

and a messenger has been sent among the nations.

“Gather and come against her,

and rise for the battle.”

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

despised by the humankind.

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.

I have heard a rumour from the Lord,

And an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying,

Gather ye together,

And come against her, and rise up to the battle.

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

And despised among men.

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.
