Jeremiah 49:15-18
The Message
Jeremiah 49:15-18
The Message
15-16 “Ah, Edom, I’m dropping you to last place among nations,
the bottom of the heap, kicked around.
You think you’re so great—
strutting across the stage of history,
Living high in the impregnable rocks,
acting like king of the mountain.
You think you’re above it all, don’t you,
like an eagle in its aerie?
Well, you’re headed for a fall.
I’ll bring you crashing to the ground.” God’s Decree.
17-18 “Edom will end up trash. Stinking, despicable trash. A wonder of the world in reverse. She’ll join Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors in the sewers of history.” God says so.
“No one will live there,
no mortal soul move in there.
Jeremiah 49:15-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 49:15-17
New International Version
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.
17 “Edom will become an object of horror;(D)
all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff
because of all its wounds.(E)
