Jeremiah 49:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶Edom, you made other nations afraid,
    so you thought you were important.
But your pride has fooled you.
    You live in caves, high on the cliff.
    Your home is high in the hills.
But even if you build your home as high as an eagle’s nest,
    I will bring you down from there.”
This is what the Lord said.

¹⁷“Edom will be destroyed.
    People will be shocked to see the destroyed cities.
    They will whistle from amazement at the destroyed cities.
¹⁸Edom will be destroyed like Sodom and Gomorrah and the towns around them.
    No one will live there.”
This is what the Lord said.
