Obadiah 1:2 - The Message

"Listen to this, Edom:
   I’m turning you to a no-account,
   the runt of the godless nations, despised.
You thought you were so great,
   perched high among the rocks, king of the mountain,
Thinking to yourself,
   ’Nobody can get to me! Nobody can touch me!’
Think again. Even if, like an eagle,
   you hang out on a high cliff-face,
Even if you build your nest in the stars,
   I’ll bring you down to earth."
         God’s sure Word.
