The (A)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of [a]the (B)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
(C)Who will bring me down to earth?’
Though you (D)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (E)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
“If (F)thieves came to you,
If [b]robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only [c]until they had enough?
If grape-pickers came to you,
(G)Would they not leave some gleanings?
