¹³ Woe for the one who builds his palace
through unrighteousness,^(A)
his upper rooms through injustice,
who makes his fellow man serve without pay
and will not give him his wages,^(B)

¹⁶ As to the terror you cause,^[a]
your presumptuous heart has deceived you.
You who live in the clefts of the rock,^[b]
you who occupy the mountain summit,
though you elevate your nest like the eagle,
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.^(A)

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.
