Jeremiah 49:16

Read Full Chapter
The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.
World English Bible (WEB)
Thy terribleness{H8606} hath deceived{H5377}{(H8689)} thee, and the pride{H2087} of thine heart{H3820}, O thou that dwellest{H7931}{(H8802)} in the clefts{H2288} of the rock{H5553}, that holdest{H8610}{(H8802)} the height{H4791} of the hill{H1389}: though thou shouldest make thy nest{H7064} as high{H1361}{(H8686)} as the eagle{H5404}, I will bring thee down{H3381}{(H8686)} from thence, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
