Obadiah 1:5 in Context — Obadiah 1
3 La soberbia de tu corazón te ha engañado, tú que moras en las hendiduras de las peñas, en tu altísima morada; que dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará á tierra?
4 Si te encaramares como águila, y si entre las estrellas pusieres tu nido, de ahí te derribaré, dice Jehová.
5 Si ladrones vinieran á ti, ó robadores de noche (¡cómo has sido destruído!) ¿no hurtaran lo que les bastase? Pues si entraran á ti vendimiadores, aun dejaran algún rebusco.
6 ¡Cómo fueron escudriñadas [las cosas de] Esaú! sus cosas escondidas fueron buscadas.
7 Hasta el término te hicieron llegar todos tus aliados; te han engañado tus pacíficos, prevalecieron contra ti; [los que comían] tu pan, pusieron el lazo debajo de ti: no hay en él entendimiento.
