Obadiah 1-2

EasyEnglish Bible

¹This is the vision that Obadiah saw.

The Almighty Lord says this about Edom.^[a]

We have heard a message from the Lord.
Someone has taken a message to the nations to say,
‘Stand up and fight against Edom.’

²The Lord says to Edom,

‘I will make you small among other people.
They will think that you are not worth anything.

1:1 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
