Both of these exaggerations say that Edom is built in a very high place by saying it is built much higher than possible. Alternate translation: "And I tell you that even if you had wings and could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism)
