This is what
the Sovereign LORD says about Edom – We have heard a message from the LORD: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, ÒRise, and let us go
against her for battleÓ – See
I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived
you, you who dwell in the
clefts of the rocks and make your home on
the heights, you who say to yourself, ÒWho can bring me down to the ground?Ó Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from
there I will bring you down,
declares the LORD. (Obadiah 1-4)
