1 This is the vision of Obadiah.This is what the Lord God says about Edom:We have heard a message from the Lord.A messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,“Attack! Let’s go attack Edom!”
2 “Soon I will make you the smallest of nations.You will be greatly hated by everyone.
3 Your pride has fooled you,you who live in the hollow places of the cliff.Your home is up high,you who say to yourself,‘No one can bring me down to the ground.’
4 Even if you fly high like the eagleand make your nest among the stars,I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
5 “You will really be ruined!If thieves came to you,if robbers came by night,they would steal only enough for themselves.If workers came and picked the grapes from your vines,they would leave a few behind.
6 But you, Edom, will really lose everything!People will find all your hidden treasures!
