Obadiah 3-5

Expanded Bible

³ Your pride has ·fooled [deceived] you,
    you who live in the ·hollow places of the cliff [^Tclefts of the rock].
    Your home is ·up high [on the heights],
you who say to yourself,
    ‘·No one can [^LWho can…?] bring me down to the ground.’
⁴ Even if you ·fly high [soar] like the eagle
    and make your nest among the stars,
    I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
⁵ “You will really be ·ruined [^Lcut off]!
If thieves came to you,
    if ·robbers [plunderers] came by night,
    they would steal only enough for themselves.
If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,
    they would leave ·a few behind [some for the poor; the gleanings].
