Even if you build your nest in the stars,
  I’ll bring you down to earth.”

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:2-4 I will cut you down: Several messages of judgment rehearse Edom’s specific sins against Israel (1:10-14; Jer 49:7-22; Ezek 25:12-14; 36:5;). Edom frequently appears among the nations that opposed Israel and the Lord (Isa 34; Ezek 35–36; Amos 9:1-15).
• down to size among the nations . . . your own pride: Edom’s rocky topography mimicked Edom’s pride. The height of the mountain fortress that provided their security only emphasizes the height from which Edom would fall. Edomite princes were among the arrogant rulers of the nations (Ezek 32:29; cp. Gen 36; 1 Chr 1:43-54).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

זְד֤וֹן לִבְּ⁠ךָ֙ הִשִּׁיאֶ֔⁠ךָ

pride heart,your deceived,you

Here, pride is spoken of as though it were a person who could deceive someone. If this is not clear, you could say this with plain language. Alternate translation: “Because you are so proud, you have deceived yourselves”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

זְד֤וֹן לִבְּ⁠ךָ֙ הִשִּׁיאֶ֔⁠ךָ

pride heart,your deceived,you

Here, you is singular, since it refers to the people of Edom as a single nation, but if this is confusing in your language, you can use a plural form of “you” here and throughout this book.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

זְד֤וֹן לִבְּ⁠ךָ֙

pride heart,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word pride, you can express the same idea with an adjective such as “proud.” Alternate translation: “Your proud attitude”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

זְד֤וֹן לִבְּ⁠ךָ֙

pride heart,your

Here, heart is used to refer to a person’s thoughts and feelings. Alternate translation: “Your proud attitude”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

שֹׁכְנִ֥י בְ⁠חַגְוֵי־סֶּ֖לַע

live in/on/at/with,clefts rock

Here, the pronoun switches from you to he even though Yahweh is still talking to the people of Edom. If this is confusing in your language, you can continue to use you, since this is part of Yahweh’s continuing message to the people of Edom. Alternate translation: “you who live in the clefts of the rock”

בְ⁠חַגְוֵי־סֶּ֖לַע

in/on/at/with,clefts rock

This means a place that is protected because it is surrounded by rocks.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אֹמֵ֣ר בְּ⁠לִבּ֔⁠וֹ

say in/on/at/with,heart,you

This says he and his, as if Yahweh were talking aloud about Edom rather than to Edom, but it can be translated with you as part of Yahweh’s continuing words to the people. Alternate translation: “you who say in your heart” or “you who say to yourselves”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֹמֵ֣ר בְּ⁠לִבּ֔⁠וֹ

say in/on/at/with,heart,you

Here, the heart is used to refer to a person’s thoughts and feelings. Alternate translation: “he who says to himself” or “you who think”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֥י יוֹרִדֵ֖⁠נִי אָֽרֶץ

who? bring_~_down,me ground

This rhetorical question expresses how proud the Edomites were and how safe they felt. Alternate translation: “no one can bring me down to the ground” or “I am safe from all attackers”
