This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says the LORD.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>"If thieves came to you, if robbers by night--oh, what disaster awaits you--wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>"Won't I in that day," says the LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/obadiah/1-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction.
