KJV ORIGINAL
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Your scary reputation has totally fooled you, and your pride has gotten to your head. You think you're untouchable up there in your mountain fortress, living high up like you own the world. Even if you built your home as high as an eagle's nest, I'm still going to bring you crashing down, says the LORD.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Pride might lift you up, but it's God who decides if you stay there.
