14 I have heard a message from the Lord;
a messenger has been sent among the nations:
Assemble yourselves to come against her.
Rise up for war!

15 Look, I will certainly make you insignificant among the nations,
despised among humanity.
16 As to the terror you cause,[a]
your presumptuous heart has deceived you.
You who live in the clefts of the rock,[b]
you who occupy the mountain summit,
though you elevate your nest like the eagle,
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.(A)

  2. Jeremiah 49:16 = Petra

14 I have heard a message from the Lord;
    an envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Assemble yourselves to attack it!
    Rise up for battle!”

15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,
    despised by mankind.
16 The terror you inspire
    and the pride(A) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,(B)
    who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest(C) as high as the eagle’s,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
