Obadiah 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2'Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You are greatly despised. 3The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, The one who lives in the clefts of the rock, On the height of his dwelling place, Who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to earth?’ 4Though you make your home high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,' declares the Lord. 5'If thieves came to you, If robbers by night— Oh how you will be ruined!— Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape-pickers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
2Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations; you will be deeply despised. 3Your arrogant heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself, "Who can bring me down to the ground? "
4Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down. This is the Lord's declaration.
5If thieves came to you, if marauders by night -- how ravaged you would be! -- wouldn't they steal only what they wanted? If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn't they leave a few grapes?
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
2The Lord says to Edom, 'I will cut you down to size among the nations; you will be greatly despised. 3You have been deceived by your own pride because you live in a rock fortress and make your home high in the mountains. ‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’ you ask boastfully. 4But even if you soar as high as eagles and build your nest among the stars, I will bring you crashing down,' says the Lord.English Standard Version
New International Version
Chapter 1
2See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 3The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' 4Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,' declares the LORD. 5If 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?New King James Version
