Obadiah 1-3

Good News Translation

The Lord has sent his messenger to the nations,
    and we have heard his message:
    “Get ready! Let us go to war against Edom!”
² The Lord says to Edom,
    “I will make you weak;
    everyone will despise you.
³ Your pride has deceived you.
Your capital is a fortress of solid rock;
    your home is high in the mountains,
and so you say to yourself,
    ‘Who can ever pull me down?’
