Obadiah 4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and make thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 [a]Came thieves to thee or robbers by night? how wast thou brought to silence? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau sought up, and his treasures searched?

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!
