Obadiah / Question
Question source
Obadiah
Obadiah says “the pride of your heart has deceived you,” describing Edom’s confidence in its high dwelling and strong location (Obadiah 1:3). Even if Edom “soar[s] aloft like the eagle,” the LORD says he will bring it down (Obadiah 1:4).
3The 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?`
4Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.
