Context Reading
15“For, behold, I have made you small among the nations,and despised among men. 16As 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. 17“Edom will become an astonishment.Everyone who passes by it will be astonished,and will hiss at all its plagues. 18As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh,“no man will dwell there,neither will any son of man live therein. 19“Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation;for I will suddenly make them run away from it,and whoever is chosen,I will appoint him over it.For who is like me?Who will appoint me a time?Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”
