“Leave the cities and dwell among the crags,
O inhabitants of Moab,
And be like a dove that nests
Beyond the mouth of the chasm.

O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret place of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your form is lovely.”


The high mountains are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the shephanim.

The shephanim are not mighty people,
Yet they make their houses in the rocks;


“As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who live in the clefts of the rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as high as an eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.

“On the cliff he dwells and lodges,
Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.


“Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth?
Do you observe the calving of the deer?
