1 The vision of Obadiah: So says the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard a message from Jehovah, and a messenger is sent among the nations; rise up, and let us rise up against her for battle.
2 Behold, I have given you to be small among the nations; you are greatly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, dwelling in the clefts of the rock; his dwelling is lofty, saying in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though you rise high as the eagle, and though you set your nest between the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares Jehovah.
5 If thieves came to you, if destroyers by night, how you have been cut off! Would they not have stolen until they had enough? If the grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?
6 How Esau is searched out! His hidden things are sought out!
7 All the men of your covenant have dismissed you to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you and have prevailed over you. They are setting your bread as a snare under you; there is no understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day even destroy the wise out of Edom and understanding out of the mount of Esau? declares Jehovah.
9 And your mighty ones, Teman, shall be afraid, so that each man from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
