Obadiah 1:2

Read in context

Obadiah 1:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—

2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.
