Obadiah 4-6
American Standard Version
4 Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? 6 How are [a]the things of Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!

Obadiah 4-6
New International Version
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(A) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(B)
declares the Lord.(C)
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?(D)
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
