Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 16 is found in chapter 49 of Jeremiah. Edom, associated with wisdom and mountain fortifications, is confronted with a destruction that no one can prevent. The language of falling from heights shows the reversal of false security. The image of the eagle ascending and descending upon Bozrah communicates the speed and reach of judgment.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare Jeremiah 49:16 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
