Obadiah 1:2-9

2Behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959.

3The prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceivedH5377 thee, thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whose habitationH3427 is highH4791; that saithH559 in his heartH3820, Who shall bring me downH3381 to the groundH776? 4Though thou exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, thence will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 5If thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, if robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (how art thou cut offH1820!) would they not have stolenH1589 till they had enoughH1767? if the grapegatherersH1219 cameH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some grapesH5955?1 6How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things sought upH1158! 7All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366: the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a woundH4204 under thee: there is none understandingH8394 in him.234 8Shall I not in that dayH3117, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215? 9And thy mightyH1368 men, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 may be cut offH3772 by slaughterH6993.
