Jeremiah

Jeremiah 49:16–18

¹⁶The terror you cause

and the pride of your heart

have deceived you,

O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks,^d

O occupiers of the mountain summit.

Though you elevate your nest like the eagle,

even from there I will bring you down,”

declares the LORD.

¹⁷“Edom will become an object of horror.

All who pass by will be appalled

and will scoff at all her wounds.

¹⁸As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown

along with their neighbors,”

says the LORD,

“no one will dwell there;

no man will abide there.
