Jeremiah 49:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ You live in the safety of the rocks.
    You live on top of the hills.
But the terror you stir up has now turned against you.
    Your proud heart has tricked you.
You build your nest as high as an eagle does.
    But I will bring you down from there,”
    announces the Lord.
¹⁷ “People of Edom,
    all those who pass by you will be shocked.
They will make fun of you
    because of all your wounds.
¹⁸ Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed.
    So were the towns that were near them,”
    says the Lord.
“You will be just like them.
    No one will live in your land.
    No human beings will stay there.
