The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; he that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.

If the thieves and robbers came to thee by night, thou taking thy rest: should they not steal, till they had enough? If the grape gatherers came upon thee, would they not leave thee some grapes?

All the men of thy confederacy have pushed thee to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, they have prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him.

And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.

Because of violence against thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

In the day when thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces, - and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast like one of them!

But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress.

Do not enter into the gate of my people - in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery - in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust thy hands on his substance - in the day of his misfortune;

For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy recompence shall return upon thine own head.
