Obadiah 1-3
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Edom’s Fall Decreed
1 The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom:
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)
2 Now I make you least among the nations;
you are utterly contemptible.
3 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?”
