Obadiah 4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 Though you soar like the eagle,
and your nest is set among the stars,
From there I will bring you down—
oracle of the Lord.
5 If thieves came to you, robbers by night
—how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal merely till they had enough?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave some gleanings?[a](A)
6 [b]How Esau has been searched out,
his treasures hunted down!
