The vision that Obadiah saw. The Lord God says this concerning Edom:We have heard a report from the Lord. An envoy was sent among the nations, saying, “Arise! Let us make war against Edom!”

The Lord says, “Look! I will make you a weak nation; you will be greatly despised!

At that time,” the Lord says, “I will destroy the wise sages of Edom! the advisers from Esau’s mountain!

Even if you were to soar high like an eagle, even if you were to make your nest among the stars, I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.

Your presumptuous heart has deceived you – you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs, whose home is high in the mountains. You think to yourself, ‘No one can bring me down to the ground!’
