Obadiah 1:2-9 - Edom's Certain Judgment

2 Behold, I have made you small among the nations! You are greatly despised. 3 Your proud heart has deceived you. You reside in the refuge of the rock. Your habitation is high above others and you say in your heart: 'Who will bring me down to the ground?' 4 Even though you place yourself as high as the eagle, and though you nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, said Jehovah!

5 If thieves and robbers came to you by night you would be destroyed. Would they steel only till they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, would they leave some grapes for gleaning? 6 How is Esau searched, his hidden treasures sought? 7 All the men allied with you have brought you to the border. The men that were at peace with you have deceived you and prevailed against you! They eat your bread and lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him (Edom). 8 Shall I not in that day, said Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and destroy understanding out of the mountain of Esau? 9 Your mighty men, O Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that every one may be destroyed (removed) from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
