16 Your terror has deceived you,
    the pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
    you who seize the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest high like the eagle,

17 “And Edom will become as a horror,
    everyone who passes by it[b] will be appalled,
    and will hiss because of all its blows.

    and their neighbors,” says Yahweh,
no one[c] will live there,
    and the son of humankind will not dwell as an alien in it.
