Obadiah 1:2

Edom Will Be Humbled

¹ The vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Lord God has said about Edom:

We have heard a message from the Lord;
a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up, and let us go to war against her.”
² Look, I will make you insignificant
among the nations;
you will be deeply despised.
³ Your presumptuous heart has deceived you,
you who live in clefts of the rock
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
“Who can bring me down to the ground?”

the one who said to me,
“Where is the Lord your God?”

like mud in the streets.
