Obadiah 4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.

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?
⁶ How Esau has been pillaged,
    his treasures searched out!
