Jeremiah 49:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 I have (A)heard a message from the Lord,
And a (B)messenger is being 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 people.
16 As for the terror you cause,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
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.

Jeremiah 49:14-16
New International Version
14 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!”
15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,
despised by mankind.
16 The terror you inspire
and the pride(A) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,(B)
who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest(C) as high as the eagle’s,
from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 49:14-16
King James Version
14 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.
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.

New American Standard Bible
Edom Will Be Humbled
1 The vision of Obadiah.
This is what the Lord [a]God says concerning (A)Edom—
(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And a (C)messenger has been sent among the nations saying,
“(D)Arise, and let’s go up 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,
The one who lives in the clefts of [b]the (G)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 Though you (I)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

and make your nest(K) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(L)
declares the Lord.(M)

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?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
