Obadiah 1:3

Edom Will Be Humbled

² “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
³ “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘Who will bring me down to earth?’
⁴ “Though you build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
