Let us rise up against her to fight!" 2 "Look! I will make you insignificant among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 3 The arrogance in your heart has deceived you, who inhabit hidden places on rocky cliffs, whose dwelling is in the heights, who say continuously to yourself, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
