1 Thus said Lord YHWH to Edom || (We have heard a report from YHWH, || And an ambassador among nations was sent, || “Rise, indeed, let us rise against her for battle”): 2 “Behold, I have made you little among nations, || You [are] despised exceedingly. 3 The pride of your heart has lifted you up, || O dweller in clefts of a rock || (A high place [is] his habitation, || He is saying in his heart: Who brings me down [to] earth?) 4 If you go up high as an eagle, || And if you set your nest between stars, || From there I bring you down,” || A declaration of YHWH. 5 “If thieves have come in to you, || If spoilers of the night, || How have you been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to you, || Do they not leave gleanings? 6 How has Esau been searched out! His hidden things have flowed out, Obadiah 1:1-6, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
