Obadiah 4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated 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.^(A)

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?^(B)
6 How Esau has been pillaged,
    his treasures searched out!
