14 I have 1heard a message from the LORD, And an 2envoy is sent among the nations, saying, "3Gather yourselves together and come against her, And rise up for battle!"
15 "For behold, I have made you small among the nations, Despised among men.
16 "As for the terror of you, The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, O you who live in the clefts of the 4rock, Who occupy the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as 5high as an eagle's, I will 6bring you down from there," declares the LORD.
