Jeremiah 49:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 I will make you the least among the nations,
despised by all people!(A)
16 The terror you spread,
the pride of your heart, beguiled you.
You denizens of rocks and crevices,
occupying towering peaks:
Though you build your nest high as the eagle,
from there I will bring you down—oracle of the Lord.(B)
17 Edom shall become an object of horror. Passersby recoil in terror, hissing at all its wounds.
