Obadiah 1:1-4

1The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom— We have heard a report from the Lord, And an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let us rise up against Edom for battle [with the Lord as commander]!”

2“Behold [Edom], I shall [humiliate you and] make you small among the nations; You are greatly despised.

3The pride and arrogance of your heart have deceived you, You who live in the clefts and lofty security of the rock (Sela), Whose dwelling place is high, Who say [boastfully] in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to earth?’

4Though you build [your nest] on high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.
