Look now, I will make you of little importance among the nations;
        you will be totally despised.
Your proud heart has tricked you—
        you who live in the cracks of the rock,
        whose dwelling is high above.
    You who say in your heart,
        “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
Though you soar like the eagle,
        though your nest is set among the stars,
        I will bring you down from there,
says the Lord.

    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(D)
Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest(E) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”(F)
declares the Lord.(G)
