Jeremiah 49:15-17
King James Version
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations,

and the pride of your heart,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[a]
who hold the height of the hill.
Though you (A)make your nest as high as the eagle's,
I will bring you down from there,
declares the Lord.
17 (B)“Edom shall become a horror. (C)Everyone who passes by it will be horrified (D)and will hiss because of all its disasters.
