Jeremiah 49:16-18
English Standard Version Anglicised
16 The horror you inspire has deceived you,
and the pride of your heart,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[a]
who hold the height of the hill.
Though you (A)make your nest as high as the eagle's,
I will bring you down from there,
declares the Lord.
17 (B)“Edom shall become a horror. (C)Everyone who passes by it will be horrified (D)and will hiss because of all its disasters. 18 (E)As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their (F)neighbouring cities were overthrown, says the Lord, (G)no man shall dwell there, (H)no man shall sojourn in her.

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)
18 As Sodom(F) and Gomorrah(G) were overthrown,
along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell(H) in it.
