Jeremiah 49:14-16
Legacy Standard Bible
14 I have (A)heard a message from Yahweh,
And an (B)envoy is sent among the nations, saying,
“(C)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
15 “For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among men.
16 As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of [a]the (D)rock,
Who seize the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as (E)high as an eagle’s,
I will (F)bring you down from there,” declares Yahweh.

Edom Will Be Brought Down
1 The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says Lord [a]Yahweh concerning (A)Edom—
(B)We have heard a report from Yahweh,
And an (C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“(D)Arise! And let us arise against her for battle”—
2 “Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of [b]the (G)cliff,
In the height of your habitation,
Who says in his heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 Though you (I)build loftily like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares Yahweh.
