3 The apride of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
bYou who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
bYou who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
4 aThough you ascend as high as the eagle,
And though you bset your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
And though you bset your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
5 “If athieves had come to you,
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
bWould they not have left some gleanings?
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
bWould they not have left some gleanings?
7 All the men in your confederacy
Shall force you to the border;
aThe men at peace with you
Shall deceive you and prevail against you.
Those who eat your bread shall lay a1 trap for you.
bNo1 one is aware of it.
Shall force you to the border;
