Obadiah 1-3
International Children’s Bible
The Lord Will Punish the Edomites
1 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
2 “Look, I have made you only a small nation.
Others do not respect you.
3 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.’

1 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.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 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?
