1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says Adonai Elohim concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Adonai— and an envoy has been sent among the nations: “Arise and let us rise up against her in battle.”
2 Behold, I will make you least among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
3 The arrogance of your heart has deceived you— living in the clefts of the rock—his dwelling place is lofty, saying in his heart: ‘Who shall bring me down to the earth?’
4 Even if you soar like the eagle, and even if you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down.’” declares Adonai.
5 “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— how ruined you would be!— would they keep stealing after they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning?
6 How Esau will be ransacked, and how his hidden treasures searched out!
