Obadiah 1:3-4

^{Tools

Your presumptuous heart has deceived you,^(A)
you who live in clefts of the rock^(a)^(b)^(B)
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
“Who can bring me down to the ground?”^(C)

Though you seem to soar^(c) like an eagle^(D)
and make your nest among the stars,^(E)
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
