The Destruction of Israel
1I saw the Lord standing beside ▼▼Or on
the altar, and he said: h“Strike the capitals until ithe thresholds jshake,
kand shatter them on the heads of all the people; ▼
▼Hebrew all of them
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
mnot one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 n“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
oif they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3If they hide themselves on pthe top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
qand if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
Obadiah 3-4
3 rThe pride of your heart has deceived you,you who live in the clefts of the rock, ▼
▼Or Sela
in your lofty dwelling,
twho say in your heart,
“Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,
declares the Lord.
