13. I swear by myself,’ declares the Lord, ‘that Bozrah will become a ruin and a curse, an object of horror and reproach; and all its towns will be in ruins for ever.’
14. I have heard a message from the Lord;an envoy was sent to the nations to say,‘Assemble yourselves to attack it!Rise up for battle!’
15. ‘Now I will make you small among the nations,despised by mankind.
16. The terror you inspireand the pride of your heart have deceived you,you who live in the clefts of the rocks,who occupy the heights of the hill.Though you build your nest as high as the eagle’s,from there I will bring you down,’declares the Lord.
