Obadiah 1-3
Easy-to-Read Version

Edom Will Be Punished

1 This is the vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord God says about Edom:

We heard a report from the Lord.
    A messenger was sent to the nations.
He said, “Let’s go fight against Edom.”

The Lord Speaks to Edom

2 “Edom, I will make you the smallest nation.
    Everyone will hate you very much.
3 Your pride has fooled you.
    You live in those caves high on the cliff.
    Your home is high in the hills.
So you say to yourself,
    ‘No one can bring me to the ground.’”
