1 This is the vision of Obadiah.This is what the Almighty Lord says about Edom:We have heard a message from the Lord.A messenger was sent among the nations to say,“Get ready! Let’s go to war against Edom.”
2 “Edom, I will make you the smallest of nations.Others will despise you.
3 Your arrogance has deceived you.You live on rocky cliffs.You make your home up high.You say to yourself,‘No one can bring me down to earth.’
4 Even though you fly high like an eagleand build your nest among the stars,I will bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.
5 “If thieves or looters come to you during the night,won’t they steal only until they’ve had enough?You will be ruined!If people come to pick your grapes,won’t they leave a few grapes behind?
6 But you, Esau, will lose everything.Even your hidden treasures will be looted.
