The Lord says to Edom,

‘I will make you small among other people.
They will think that you are not worth anything.
You think that you are better than other people. And so you believe something that is not true.
You live in a place that is difficult to reach.
Your home is high up in a place among rocks.
You say to yourself,
“Nobody can reach us up here.”
You may be like a strong bird that flies high.
And you may make your home in the highest places among the stars.
But I will bring you down from there.’

That is what the Lord says.

“See, I will make you small(A) among the nations;
    you will be utterly despised.
The pride(B) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](C)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(D)
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest(E) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”(F)
declares the Lord.(G)
