The vision of Obadiah. Thus says lord LORD concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

The Lord says, "Look! I will make you a weak nation; you will be greatly despised!

The pride of thy heart has deceived thee, O thou who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from there, says LORD.

Shall I not in that day, says LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
