1:1 The vision 1 that Obadiah 2 saw. 3
The Lord God 4 says this concerning 5 Edom: 6
We have heard a report from the Lord.
An envoy was sent among the nations, saying, 7
“Arise! Let us make war against Edom!” 8
1:2 The Lord says, 9 “Look! I will 10 make you a weak nation; 11
you will be greatly despised!
1:3 Your presumptuous heart 12 has deceived you –
you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs, 13
whose home is high in the mountains. 14
You think to yourself, 15
‘No one can 16 bring me down to the ground!’ 17
1:4 Even if you were to soar high like an eagle, 18
even if you 19 were to make your nest among the stars,
I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.
