14 I heard a message from Yahweh.
    A messenger was sent among the nations to say,
        “Assemble, and attack Edom.
            Get ready for battle.”

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 Yahweh.

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.

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.
