Edom’s Fall Decreed

The vision of Obadiah.

We have heard a message from the Lord,
    and a herald has been sent among the nations:
    “Rise up, so we may go to war against it!”(A)
Now I make you least among the nations;
    you are utterly contemptible.
The pride of your heart has deceived you—
    you who dwell in mountain crevices,
    in your lofty home,[a]
Who say in your heart,
    “Who will bring me down to earth?”

    you will be utterly despised.
The pride(H) of your heart has deceived you,

    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(J)
