you who sit above the valley,
you atop the rocky plateau—

Who can enter our hiding places?”

residents of Moab!

you who occupy the mountain summit,
though you elevate your nest like the eagle,
even from there I will bring you down.

Your presumptuous heart has deceived you,
you who live in clefts of the rock

in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
“Who can bring me down to the ground?”
