³ Your arrogant heart has deceived you,^(A)
you who live in clefts of the rock^[a][b](B)
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
“Who can bring me down to the ground?” ^(C)

⁴ Though you seem to soar^[a] like an eagle^(A)
and make your nest among the stars,^(B)
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

⁸ In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom^(A)
and those who understand
from the hill country of Esau?
