The Lord Will Punish the Edomites

This is the vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Lord God says about Edom:[a]

We have heard a message from the Lord.
    A messenger has been sent among the nations, saying
“Let’s go attack Edom!”

The Lord Speaks to the Edomites

“Look, I have made you only a small nation.
    Others do not respect you.
But your pride has fooled you.
    You live in the hollow places of the cliff.
    Your home is up high.
And you say to yourself,
    ‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’
