Obadiah 3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ Your proud heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rock,^[a]
    whose dwelling is in the heights.
You say in your heart,
    “Who will bring me down to the ground?”^(A)
4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
    though your nest is set among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,
            says the Lord.^(B)

⁵ If thieves came to you,
    if plunderers by night
    —how you have been destroyed!—
    would they not steal only what they wanted?
If grape gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave gleanings?^(C)
