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?
