# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues speaking about what will happen to Edom.
|
|
|
|
# As for your fearsomeness
|
|
|
|
Here the abstract noun "fearsomeness" can be translated with either an adjective or a verb. Alternate translation: "As for how terrifying you think you are" or "Although you think you scare other people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
|
|
|
|
# your heart's pride has deceived you
|
|
|
|
Here "heart" represents the whole person. People deceiving themselves is spoken of as if their pride deceived them. Alternate translation: "you have become prideful, but you have deceived yourselves" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

|
# so that you may make your nest high like an eagle
|
|
|
|
It is implied that the people made homes in high places to remain safe from enemies. Alternate translation: "live in safety like an eagle in the heights of the mountains" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

|
# eagle
|
|
|
|
This is a very large, powerful bird of prey. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 4:13](../04/13.md).
|
|
|
|
# this is Yahweh's declaration
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 1:8](../01/08.md). Alternate translation: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
