Obadiah 1:4
Though you soar like the eagle
What it says
Even if Edom rises like the eagle and sets its nest among the stars, the LORD will bring it down.
What it is doing
This verse denies that any exalted position can resist divine judgment.
In context
1This is the vision of Obadiah: 2“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; 3The pride of your heart has deceived you, 4Though you soar like the eagle 5“If thieves came to you, 6But how Esau will be pillaged, 7All the men allied with you 8In that day, declares the LORD, 9Then your mighty men, O Teman, 10Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, 11On the day you stood aloof 12But you should not gloat in that day, 13You should not enter the gate of My people 14Nor should you stand at the crossroads
