1. THE VISION of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent forth among the nations [saying], Arise, and let us rise up against [Edom] for battle! [Ps. 137:7; Isa. 34:1-15; 63:1-6; Jer. 49:7-22; Ezek. 25:8-14.]
2. Behold, I will make you small among the nations [Edom]; you shall be despised exceedingly. [Ezek. 35.]
3. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you dweller in the refuges of the rock [Petra, Edom's capital], whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who can bring me down to the ground?
4. Though you mount on high as the eagle and though you set your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says the Lord.
