Obadiah 4-6
Common English Bible
4 Though you soar like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
I will bring you down from there,
says the Lord.
Edom is robbed
5 If thieves approach you,
if robbers by night—how you’ve been devastated!—
wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?
If those who gather grapes came to you,
wouldn’t they leave some grapes?
6 How Esau has been looted,
his treasures taken away!
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!
