Obadiah 1:1-4

¹The vision of Obadiah.

Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom—

We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“Arise and let us go against her for battle”—
²“Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
³“The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘Who will bring me down to earth?’
⁴“Though you build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
