16  The horror you inspire has deceived you,

and the pride of your heart,

you who live in the clefts of the rock,¹

who hold the height of the hill.

Though you make your nest as high as the eagle’s,

I will bring you down from there,

declares the Lord.

4  Though you soar aloft like the eagle,

though your nest is set among the stars,

from there I will bring you down,

declares the Lord.
