Obadiah 1-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

We have heard a message from the Lord;^(B)
an envoy has been sent^(C) among the nations:
‘Rise up,^(D) and let’s go to war against her.’^[a]
2 Look, I will make you insignificant^(E)
among the nations;
you will be deeply despised.
³ Your arrogant heart has deceived you,^(F)
you who live in clefts of the rock^[b],^[c],^(G)
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground? ’^(H)
4 Though you seem to soar^[d] like an eagle^(I)
and make your nest among the stars,^(J)
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
