Obadiah 3-4
v. 3: Edom had confidence in their natural defenses—living in the rocky cliffs and high places—but their pride deceived them. They thought no one could bring them down. But God warns that even if they seem safe, He can humble them. Their pride will not protect them from God’s judgment. v. 4: God says that even if Edom soars as high as an eagle, or builds their home among the stars, He will bring them down. No matter how high or secure they feel, they cannot escape God’s power. This is a warning that pride and self-confidence apart from God lead to destruction.
