“Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.”
The statement that though one makes his nest as high as the eagle and though it is set among the stars the LORD will bring them down indicates that even the highest vantage point provides no escape from divine judgment. The imagery of the highest places emphasizes the totality of Edom's humiliation.
