Jeremiah 49:17

A Message Concerning Edom

¹⁶ As to the terror you cause,
your presumptuous heart has deceived you.
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
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. ¹⁷ “Edom will become a desolation. Everyone who passes by her will be horrified and scoff because of all her wounds. ¹⁸ As when Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the Lord, “no one will live there; no human being will even stay in it as a temporary resident.
