Obadiah 1:2-9 - Edom's Certain Judgment
2 "Look, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You [will be] utterly despised! 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of a rock, the heights of its dwelling, [you who] say in your heart: 'Who can bring me down [to the] ground?' 4 [Even] if you soar like the eagle, [even] if your nest is set among [the] stars, from there I will bring you down!" {declares} Yahweh:
5 "If thieves came to you, if plunderers of [the] night--How you have been destroyed!--would they not steal {what they wanted}? If grape gatherers came, would they not leave gleanings? 6 How Esau has been pillaged; his treasures have been ransacked! 7 All of your {allies} have driven you up to the boundary; your {confederates} have deceived you and have prevailed against you. [Those who eat] your bread have set an ambush for you, there is no understanding of it. 8 On that day," {declares} Yahweh, "will I not destroy the wise men from Edom, and understanding from the mountain of Esau? 9 And your warriors will be shattered, Teman, so that {everyone} from the mountain of Esau will be cut off because of the slaughter!
