²⁹ “We have heard of Moab’s pride^(A)—
    how great is her arrogance!—
of her insolence, her pride, her conceit
    and the haughtiness^(B) of her heart.

¹⁶ The terror you inspire
    and the pride^(A) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,^(B)
    who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest^(C) as high as the eagle’s,
    from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.

    to take possession of their houses.
I will put an end to the pride of the mighty,
    and their sanctuaries^(A) will be desecrated.^(B)

“‘In the pride of your heart
    you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne^(B) of a god
    in the heart of the seas.”^(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
    though you think you are as wise as a god.^(D)

¹² I will cause your hordes to fall
    by the swords of mighty men—
    the most ruthless of all nations.^(A)
They will shatter the pride of Egypt,
    and all her hordes will be overthrown.^(B)
