Obadiah 1-2

Expanded Bible

The Lord Will Punish the Edomites

¹This is the vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Lord God says about Edom [^Cthe Edomites were descendants of Esau, Jacob’s twin brother (Gen. 25); they were often in conflict with Israel]:
We have heard a ·message [report] from the Lord.
A ·messenger [envoy] has been sent among the nations, saying,
“·Attack [^LRise up]! Let’s go ·attack [^Lrise to battle against] Edom!”
