The Lord says to Edom,
    “I will make you weak;
    everyone will despise you.
Your pride has deceived you.
Your capital is a fortress of solid rock;
    your home is high in the mountains,
and so you say to yourself,
    ‘Who can ever pull me down?’
Even though you make your home
    as high as an eagle's nest,
    so that it seems to be among the stars,
yet I will pull you down.

“See, I will make you small(A) among the nations;
    you will be utterly despised.
The pride(B) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](C)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(D)
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest(E) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”(F)
declares the Lord.(G)
