11The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord God says about[] Edom. A Message Spreads to the Nations
We have heard news from the Lord, and an envoy has been sent among the nations:
“Get up. Let us rise up against her in battle.”
The Lord's Message to Edom
2Listen, I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be completely despised.
3You who live in the clefts of the rocky cliff,[] the pride of your heart has deceived you. Your dwelling is so high that you say in your heart, “Who can bring me down to the ground?” 4Even if you would soar as high as an eagle, and even if your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord. 5If thieves came to you, if robbers came by night—oh, what disaster awaits you!—wouldn't they steal only until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some grapes for gleaning? 6Oh, how completely Esau will be ransacked! His hidden treasures will be searched out and looted!
