Obadiah 1:1

God’s Judgment on Edom

1:1 The vision that Obadiah saw.

The Lord God says this concerning Edom:

Edom’s Approaching Destruction

We have heard a report from the Lord.

An envoy was sent among the nations, saying,

“Arise! Let us make war against Edom!”

Obadiah 1:7

1:7 All your allies will force you from your homeland!

Your treaty partners will deceive you and overpower you.

Your trusted friends will set an ambush for you

that will take you by surprise!

Obadiah 1:13

1:13 You should not have entered the city of my people when they experienced distress.

You should not have joined in gloating over their misfortune when they suffered distress.

You should not have looted their wealth when they endured distress.
