Obadiah 1-4

New International Version

We have heard a message from the Lord:
    An envoy^(E) was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”^(F)—

² “See, I will make you small^(G) among the nations;
    you will be utterly despised.
³ The pride^(H) of your heart has deceived you,
    you who live in the clefts of the rocks^[a](I)
    and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
    ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’^(J)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
    and make your nest^(K) among the stars,
    from there I will bring you down,”^(L)
declares the Lord.^(M)
