Obadiah 1:1-9 - Edom Will Be Humbled
1 This is the vision that was showed unto Obadiah. Thus hath the LORD God spoken upon Edom: We have heard of the LORD that there is an ambassador sent among the Heathen: "Up, let us arise, and fight against them!" 2 Behold, I will make thee small among the Heathen, so that thou shalt be utterly despised. 3 The pride of thine heart hath lift thee up, thou that dwellest in the strongholds of stone, and hast made thee a high seat. Thou sayest in thine heart, "Who shall cast me down to the ground?" 4 But though thou wentest up as high as the Eagle, and madest thy nest above among the stars: yet would I pluck thee down from thence.
5 If the thieves and robbers came to thee by night, thou taking thy rest: should they not steal, till they had enough? If the grape gatherers came upon thee, would they not leave thee some grapes? 6 But how shall they rip Esau, and seek out his treasures! 7 Yea, the men that were sworn unto thee, shall drive thee out of the borders of thine own land. They that be now at one with thee, shall deceive thee, and overcome thee: Even they that eat thy bread, shall betray thee, before thou perceive it. 8 Shall not I at the same time destroy the wise men of Edom; and those that have understanding, from the mount of Esau? 9 Thy giants, O Teman, shall be afraid, for through the slaughter they shall be all overthrown upon the mount of Esau.
