“Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the Lord; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?”
God's threat to the inhabitants of the valley and rocky plateau who say that God cannot come up against them represents the arrogance of those who believe they are safe from judgment. The geographical reference to valleys and high places suggests either actual defensive positions or metaphorical pride. The confident assertion that God cannot attack shows the people's false sense of security. God's response—that He will punish them—corrects this fundamental misunderstanding.
