Obadiah 2-5
New King James Version
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
You shall be greatly despised.
3 The (A)pride of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
(B)You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
4 (C)Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
And though you (D)set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
5 “If (E)thieves had come to you,
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
(F)Would they not have left some gleanings?
Obadiah 2-5
New International Version
2 “See, I will make you small(A) among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride(B) of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](C)
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(D)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(E) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(F)
declares the Lord.(G)
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?(H)
