Obadiah 3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 The (A)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of [a]the (B)cliff,
In the height of your habitation,
Who says in his heart,
‘(C)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 Though you (D)build loftily like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (E)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares Yahweh.
5 “If (F)thieves came to you,
If [b]robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not thieve only [c]until they had enough?
If grape gatherers came to you,
(G)Would they not allow some gleanings to remain?

Obadiah 3-5
New International Version
3 The pride(A) of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](B)
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(C)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(D) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)
5 “If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?(G)
