Jeremiah 49:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 The terror you inspire
and the pride of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[a]
who hold the height of the hill.
Although you make your nest as high as the eagle’s,
from there I will bring you down,
says the Lord.(A)
17 Edom shall become an object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.(B) 18 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors were overthrown, says the Lord, no one shall live there, nor shall anyone settle in it.(C)
