Obadiah 1:5

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

If thieves came to you, if robbers by night–how you are brought to nothing!–would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some grapes for gleaning? [But this ravaging was done by God, not men.] [Jer. 49:9.]
