“The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?”
The description of those dwelling in the clefts of the rock whose habitation is high indicate Edom's geographical advantage, the strongholds in the mountains of Seir. The image of exalting one's nest like the eagle emphasizes Edom's confidence in their security. This verse establishes Edom's false confidence.
