Let us rise against her for battle!”<br />2   Behold, I will make you small among the nations;<br />    you shall be utterly despised.1<br />3   The pride of your heart has deceived you,<br />    you who live in the clefts of the rock,2<br />    in your lofty dwelling,<br />  who say in your heart,<br />    “Who will bring me down to the ground?”<br />4   Though you soar aloft like the eagle,<br />    though your nest is set among the stars,<br />    from there I will bring you down,<br />      declares the LORD.<br /> 5   If thieves came to you,<br />    if plunderers came by night—<br />    how you have been destroyed!—<br />
