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!”
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,Who say in your heart,“Who will bring me down to earth?”
4 Though you soar like the eagle,and your nest is set among the stars,From there I will bring you down—oracle of the Lord.
5 If thieves came to you, robbers by night—how you have been destroyed!—would they not steal merely till they had enough?If grape pickers came to you,would they not leave some gleanings?
6 How Esau has been searched out,his treasures hunted down!
