You live in a mountain fortress,[a]
    because your pride
makes you feel safe from attack,
    but you are mistaken.
I will still bring you down,
even if you fly higher
    than an eagle
or nest among the stars.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

If thieves break in at night,
they steal
    only what they want.
And people who harvest grapes
    always leave some unpicked.
But, Edom, you are doomed!
