Obadiah 1:1-4

The vision of Obadiah. T hus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom— We have heard a report from the LORD, And an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let us rise up against Edom for battle [with the LORD as commander]!” [Ps 137:7; Is 34:1-15; 63:1-6; Jer 49:7-22; Ezek 25:12-14] “Behold [Edom], I shall [humiliate you and] make you small among the nations; You are greatly despised. [Ezek 35] “The pride and arrogance of your heart have deceived you, You who live in the clefts and lofty security of the rock (Sela), Whose dwelling place is high, Who say [boastfully] in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to earth?’ “Though you build [your nest] on high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.
