14 (A)I have heard a message from the Lord,
    and an envoy has been sent among the nations:
(B)“Gather yourselves together and come against her,
    and rise up for battle!
15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations,
    despised among mankind.
16 The horror you inspire has deceived you,
    and the pride of your heart,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[a]
    who hold the height of the hill.
Though you (C)make your nest as high as the eagle's,
    I will bring you down from there,
declares the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 49:16 Or of Sela

14 I have heard a message from the Lord;
    an envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Assemble yourselves to attack it!
    Rise up for battle!”

15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,
    despised by mankind.
16 The terror you inspire
    and the pride(A) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,(B)
    who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest(C) as high as the eagle’s,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
