Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, thence I will bring you down, says the Lord.

ἐὰν μετεωρισθῇς ὡς ἀετὸς καὶ ἐὰν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἄστρων θῇς νοσσιάν σου, ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω σε, λέγει κύριος.

אִם־תַּגְבִּ֣יהַּ כַּנֶּ֔שֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּ֥ין כֹּֽוכָבִ֖ים שִׂ֣ים קִנֶּ֑ךָ מִשָּׁ֥ם אֹורִֽידְךָ֖ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה׃
