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.
