Obadiah 1:3-7

3The prideH2087 of thy 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?

41Though thou shalt exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou shalt setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, from there will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.

5If2 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?3

6How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things soughtH1158!

7All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366:4 the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee5 have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a trapH4204 under thee: there is no understandingH8394 in him.6
