Commentary
And when he mentioned the subtle aspects of their conditions, he followed it with the heavy aspects of their actions. He means by saying, "Will you be left?" or clarifying the state of the doer in "secure". "And you carve out" means: while you are carving out, demonstrating the ability, "from the mountains, houses, lofty" means: showing vigor and strength, boasting by that and being arrogant, not out of your need for anything from that.
