Obadiah 1-4

Revised Standard Version

Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom:
We have heard tidings from the Lord,
    and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up! let us rise against her for battle!”
² Behold, I will make you small among the nations,
    you shall be utterly despised.
³ The pride of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rock,^[a]
    whose dwelling is high,
who say in your heart,
    “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
⁴ Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
    though your nest is set among the stars,
    thence I will bring you down,
                says the Lord.
