1 This is the vision of Obadiah.
2 “Edom, I will make you the smallest of nations.
3 Your arrogance has deceived you.
4 Even though you fly high like an eagle
5 “If thieves or looters come to you during the night,
6 But you, Esau, will lose everything.
7 All your allies will force you to leave your land.
8 “On that day I will destroy the wise people in Edom
9 “Teman, your warriors will be terrified.
10 “Because of the violence you did to Jacob, your relative,
11 While you stood there doing nothing,
12 Don’t gloat over your relative’s misfortune
13 Don’t march through the gates of my people when disaster strikes
14 Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees.
15 “The day of the Lord is near for all nations.
16 As you, Israel, drank on my holy mountain,
17 “But refugees will live on Mount Zion.
18 The descendants of Jacob will be like a fire.
19 “People from the Negev will take possession of Esau’s mountain.
20 Exiles from Israel will take possession of Canaan.
21 Those who are victorious will come from Mount Zion
