Obadiah 1:3

Edom Will Be Humbled

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?”
⁴ Though you seem to soar like an eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
