Edom Will Be Punished

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

“Edom, I will make you the smallest nation.
    Everyone will hate you very much.
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.’”

This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom(D)

We have heard a message from the Lord:
    An envoy(E) was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”(F)

“See, I will make you small(G) among the nations;
    you will be utterly despised.
The pride(H) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](I)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(J)

  1. Obadiah 1:3 Or of Sela

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
