Pride among the rocks

12For thus says Yahweh: Behold, those who were not sentenced to drink the cup will surely drink, and are you the one who will go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you will surely drink.

13For I have sworn by myself, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a horror, a reproach, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will become everlasting ruins.

14I have heard a report from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Gather yourselves, and come against her, and rise up for battle.”

15For look, I have made you small among the nations, despised among men.

16The terror you inspire has deceived you, the arrogance of your heart— you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who occupy the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as the eagle, from there I will bring you down, declares Yahweh.

17Edom will become a desolation; everyone who passes by her will be appalled and will whistle at all her wounds.

18As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns were overthrown, says Yahweh, no man will dwell there, and no son of man will sojourn in her.
