Obadiah 1-4
Legacy Standard Bible

Edom Will Be Brought Down

1 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”—
2 “Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 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?’
4 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.

(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an (C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,

3 “The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of [b]the (G)rock,

Who say in your heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 “Though you (I)build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
