Within the context, time and place those prophetic words were uttered, the "US" was Edom, a proud nation who gloated over Israel's devastation by foreign powers. But God brings destruction upon Edom - they will be humbled and dislodged from their mountain strongholds and Israel will prosper.
I take this prophecy to refer to ALL of Israel's enemies, both past and present. God is not done with his chosen people and he has plans for them. The nations should pay heed.
So you want to make that a personal message? Most of us would, when confronted by a cipher like that, I mean how could the Bible be anything but personal? So I think it is about humility. Being humble is bringing it home, bringing it down to me, myself...who will think always of others. And only God really takes it down for us in this pursuit. We all need to be humble it's being "right-sized".

The Edomites were proud, Anti-Semitic racists, but God would chasten them.
