1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom: We heard a report from Jehovah, a messenger was sent among the nations; arise ye, and we will rise up against her for war. 2 Behold, I gave thee small among the nations: thou being greatly despised. 3 The pride of thy heart deceived thee, dwelling in the refuges of the rock, the height his seat; he said in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the earth? 4 If thou shalt exalt as the eagle, and set thy nest between the stars, from thence will I bring thee down, says Jehovah. 5 If thieves came to thee, if those laying waste by night, (how thou wert destroyed!) will not they steal their sufficiency? If the grape gatherers came to thee will they not leave gleanings? 6 How were they of Esau sought out! His hidden things were sought out. Obadiah 1:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
