14 I have sent a messenger
    to command the nations
to prepare for war
    against you people of Edom.
15 Your nation will be small,
    yet hated by other nations.
16 Pride tricks you into thinking
that other nations
    look at you with fear.[a]
You live along the cliffs
and high in the mountains
    like the eagles,
but I am the Lord,
    and I will bring you down.
