NETBible

Even if you were to soar high like an eagle,¹ even if you² were to make your nest among the stars, I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.

NET Notes

¹sn The eagle was often used in the ancient Near East as a symbol of strength and swiftness.

²tc The present translation follows the reading תָּשִׂים (tasim; active) rather than שִׁים (sim; passive) of the MT (“and your nest be set among the stars,” NAB). Cf. LXX, Syriac, Vg.
