Jeremiah 49:16-18
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 49:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 Pride tricks you into thinking
that other nations
look at you with fear.[a]
You live along the cliffs
and high in the mountains
like the eagles,
but I am the Lord,
and I will bring you down.
17 People passing by your country
will be shocked and horrified
to see a disaster
18 (A) as bad as the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah
and towns nearby.
The towns of Edom will be empty.
