Jeremiah 49:16-18
Modern English Version
Jeremiah 49:16-18
Modern English Version
16 As for the terror of you,
the pride of your heart has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
who hold the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as high as the eagle,
I will bring you down from there,
says the Lord.
17 Also Edom will become a desolation;
everyone who goes by it will be astonished,
and will hiss at all its wounds.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
and the neighboring cities,
says the Lord,
no man will abide there,
nor will a son of man dwell in it.

Jeremiah 49:16-18
New International Version
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.
