Obadiah 1:1

The Coming Judgment on Edom

1 The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord God ^aconcerning Edom
^b(We have heard a report from the Lord,
And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,
“Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle”):

2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
You shall be greatly despised.

3 The ^apride of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
^bYou who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

4 ^aThough you ascend as high as the eagle,
And though you ^bset your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.

5 “If ^athieves had come to you,
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
^bWould they not have left some gleanings?

6 “Oh, how Esau shall be searched out!
How his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
