Jeremiah 49:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995
14 I have (A)heard a message from the Lord,
And an (B)envoy is sent among the nations, saying,
“(C)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
15 “For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among men.
16 “As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who live in the clefts of [a]the (D)rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as (E)high as an eagle’s,
I will (F)bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.

Obadiah 1-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
Edom Will Be Humbled
1 The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord [a]God concerning (A)Edom—
(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an (C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“(D)Arise and let us go against her for battle”—
2 “Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 “The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of [b]the (G)rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 “Though you (I)build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
