Obadiah 1:4

Context

1:4 Even if you were to soar high like an eagle, 1 

even if you 2  were to make your nest among the stars,

I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.

1 sn The eagle was often used in the ancient Near East as a symbol of strength and swiftness.

2 tc The present translation follows the reading תָּשִׂים (tasim; active) rather than שִׁים (sim; passive) of the MT (“and your nest be set among the stars,” NAB). Cf. LXX, Syriac, Vg.
