Obadiah 3-5

Common English Bible

³ Your proud heart has tricked you—
        you who live in the cracks of the rock,
        whose dwelling is high above.
    You who say in your heart,
        “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
⁴ Though you soar like the eagle,
        though your nest is set among the stars,
        I will bring you down from there,
says the Lord.

⁵ If thieves approach you,
        if robbers by night—how you’ve been devastated!—
        wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?
    If those who gather grapes came to you,
        wouldn’t they leave some grapes?
