I will not relent from punishing Moab^(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because he burned the bones
of the king of Edom to lime.^(B)

³ Your arrogant heart has deceived you,^(A)
you who live in clefts of the rock^[a],^[b],^(B)
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground? ’^(C)
4 Though you seem to soar^[c] like an eagle^(D)
and make your nest among the stars,^(E)
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹⁰ This is what they get for their pride,
because they have taunted and acted arrogantly^(A)
against the people of the Lord of Armies.
