1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus hath the Lord GOD said concerning Edom: We have heard the message from the Lord, and a messenger is sent to the Gentiles, Arise, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the Gentiles: thou shalt be greatly humbled.
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?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle and though thou set thy nest among the stars, from there I will bring thee down, said the Lord.
5 Did thieves come to thee, or robbers by night? (how art thou destroyed!) would they not have stolen until they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How were the things of Esau searched out! His hidden things were sought after!
