Obadiah 1:4-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. Though you soar aloft like the eagle,though your nest is set among the stars,from there I will bring you down,declares the Lord.

5. If thieves came to you,if plunderers came by night—how you have been destroyed!—would they not steal only enough for themselves?If grape gatherers came to you,would they not leave gleanings?

6. How Esau has been pillaged,his treasures sought out!

7. All your allies have driven you to your border;those at peace with you have deceived you;they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding.
