Obaja 1:15

The Coming Day of the Lord

1:15 “For the day of the Lord¹ is approaching² for all the nations!³

Just as you have done, so it will be done to you.

You will get exactly what your deeds deserve.⁴

Obaja 1:2-4

1:2 The Lord says,⁵ “Look! I will⁶ make you a weak nation;⁷

you will be greatly despised!

1:3 Your presumptuous heart⁸ has deceived you –

you who reside in the safety of the rocky cliffs,⁹

whose home is high in the mountains.¹⁰

You think to yourself,¹¹

‘No one can¹² bring me down to the ground!’¹³

1:4 Even if you were to soar high like an eagle,¹⁴

even if you¹⁵ were to make your nest among the stars,

I can bring you down even from there!” says the Lord.
