14 I have (A)heard a message from Yahweh,
And an (B)envoy is sent among the nations, saying,
(C)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
15 “For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among men.
16 As for the terror of you,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of [a]the (D)rock,
Who seize the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as (E)high as an eagle’s,
I will (F)bring you down from there,” declares Yahweh.

Edom Will Be Brought Down

The vision of Obadiah.

Thus says Lord [a]Yahweh concerning (A)Edom—

(B)We have heard a report from Yahweh,
And an (C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
(D)Arise! And let us arise against her for battle”—
“Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who dwell in the clefts of [b]the (G)cliff,
In the height of your habitation,
Who says in his heart,
(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
Though you (I)build loftily like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares Yahweh.
