Jeremiah 49:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ Your pride has deceived you. No one fears you as much as you think they do. You live on the rocky cliffs, high on top of the mountain; but even though you live as high up as an eagle, the Lord will bring you down. The Lord has spoken.”

¹⁷ The Lord said, “The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified. ^18 (A)The same thing will happen to Edom that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken.
