New Living Translation
Obadiah 1:3-7
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.
5“If thieves came at night and robbed you (what a disaster awaits you!), they would not take everything. Those who harvest grapes always leave a few for the poor. But your enemies will wipe you out completely!
6Every nook and cranny of Edom will be searched and looted. Every treasure will be found and taken.
7“All your allies will turn against you. They will help to chase you from your land. They will promise you peace while plotting to deceive and destroy you. Your trusted friends will set traps for you, and you won’t even know about it.
