A Message Spreads to the Nations

We have heard news from the Lord, and an envoy has been sent among the nations:

“Get up. Let us rise up against her in battle.”

The Lord’s Message to Edom

Listen, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be completely despised.

You who live in the clefts of the rocky cliff,[b] the pride of your heart has deceived you. Your dwelling is so high that you say in your heart, “Who can bring me down to the ground?” Even if you would soar as high as an eagle, and even if your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord.
