Your arrogant 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? ’
As to the terror you cause, your arrogant 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 eagles, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord’s declaration.
