The (A)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of [a]the (B)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
(C)Who will bring me down to earth?’
Though you (D)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (E)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
