Obadiah 1 in context

Obadiah 1–4

Selected verse

Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.

The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.
