Obadiah 1:5 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

If thieves broke into your place, or robbers came in the middle of the night — and look how completely you've been destroyed! — wouldn't they at least stop once they got what they wanted? If people came to harvest your grapes, wouldn't they leave some behind?

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even thieves leave something behind, but your enemies didn't — they took everything.

I'm sending this out, says the Lord of heaven's armies, and it's going straight to the homes of thieves and people who lie using my name. It's going to stay right there in their house until it completely destroys everything — the wood, the stones, all of it.
