Obadiah 1:4 in Context — Obadiah 1

2 Voici, je te rendrai petit parmi les nations, Tu seras l’objet du plus grand mépris.

3 L’orgueil de ton cœur t’a égaré, Toi qui habites le creux des rochers, Qui t’assieds sur les hauteurs, Et qui dis en toi-même: Qui me précipitera jusqu’à terre?

4 Quand tu placerais ton nid aussi haut que celui de l’aigle, Quand tu le placerais parmi les étoiles, Je t’en précipiterai, dit l’Éternel.

5 Si des voleurs, des pillards, viennent de nuit chez toi, Comme te voilà dévasté! Mais enlèvent-ils plus qu’ils ne peuvent? Si des vendangeurs viennent chez toi, Ne laissent-ils rien à grappiller?…

6 Ah! Comme Ésaü est fouillé! Comme ses trésors sont découverts!
