Jeremiah 49:14-16

14 I have heard a report from the LORD that a messenger is sent among the nations: Join forces and come against her; prepare for war!
15 I'm about to cut you down to size before the nations; you will be scorned by everyone.
16 The terror you have inflicted on others has deceived you, as has your own pride. Though you live in a fortress and occupy the high ground; though you nest on high like the eagles, I will bring you down, declares the LORD.
