²⁸ You who dwell in Moab,
Leave the cities and ^(A)dwell in the rock,
And be like ^(B)the dove which makes her nest
In the sides of the cave’s mouth.

⁶ So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
⁷ Indeed, I would wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness. Selah

¹⁶ Your fierceness has deceived you,
The ^(A)pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
^(B)Though you make your ^(C)nest as high as the eagle,
^(D)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

³ The ^(A)pride of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
^(B)You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
^4 (C)Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
And though you ^(D)set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
