Obadiah 1-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

Edom’s Fall^(A)

¹This is the vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Almighty Lord says about Edom:

We have heard a message from the Lord.
A messenger was sent among the nations to say,
“Get ready! Let’s go to war against Edom.”

²“Edom, I will make you the smallest of nations.
Others will despise you.
³Your arrogance has deceived you.
You live on rocky cliffs.
You make your home up high.
You say to yourself,
‘No one can bring me down to earth.’
⁴Even though you fly high like an eagle
and build your nest among the stars,
I will bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.
