Obadiah / Question
Question source
Obadiah
Obadiah says the house of Jacob will consume the house of Esau, and “there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau” (Obadiah 1:18). He presents this as the LORD’s declared outcome: “for the LORD has spoken” (Obadiah 1:18).
18The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.
