Obadiah 2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
The Lord Speaks to Edom
2 “Edom, I will make you the smallest nation.
Everyone will hate you very much.
3 Your pride has fooled you.
You live in those caves high on the cliff.
Your home is high in the hills.
So you say to yourself,
‘No one can bring me to the ground.’”
Edom Will Be Brought Low
4 This is what the Lord says:
“Even though you fly high like the eagle
and put your nest among the stars,
I will bring you down from there.
Obadiah 2-4
New International Version
2 “See, I will make you small(A) among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride(B) of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](C)
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(D)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(E) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(F)
declares the Lord.(G)
