1This is the vision of Obadiah:
This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom—
We have heard a message from the LORD;
an envoy has been sent among the nations
to say, “Rise up,
and let us go to battle against her!”—
2“Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
you will be deeply despised.
3The pride of your heart has deceived you,
O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks
whose habitation is the heights,
who say in your heart,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
even from there I will bring you down,”
— Obadiah 1:1-4
