“Your dwelling place is secure,^(B)
    your nest is set in a rock;

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.

⁴ Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest^(A) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”^(B)
declares the Lord.^(C)

⁹ “Woe to him who builds^(A) his house by unjust gain,^(B)
    setting his nest^(C) on high
    to escape the clutches of ruin!
