The Lord Speaks to the Edomites

“Look, I have made you only a small nation.
    Others do not respect you.
But your pride has fooled you.
    You live in the hollow places of the cliff.
    Your home is up high.
And you say to yourself,
    ‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’
You fly high like the eagle.
    You make your nest among the stars.
    But I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

“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)
