Obadiah
The Lord God condemns Edom for its arrogance and violence against Jacob, declaring its destruction and downfall from its lofty position. Edom's allies will betray it, and its people will be consumed by fear and perish. The Lord warns Edom against rejoicing over Judah's misfortunes or taking advantage of its troubles, as the day of judgment is near and Edom will be punished for its actions, while the house of Jacob will be saved and possess Edom's land, with the kingdom ultimately belonging to the Lord.
