Obadiah 1-4

Modern English Version

(We have heard a report from the Lord
    and a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying:
“Rise up! Let us rise up against it for battle!”):

² See, I will make you small among the nations;
    you will be greatly despised.
³ The pride of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rock,
    whose dwelling is high;
you say in your heart,
    “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
⁴ Though you ascend high like the eagle,
    and though you set your nest among the stars,
    I will bring you down from there,
    says the Lord.
