Prophecy of Obadiah

Tho short on words:

Obadiah's words pronounce only judgement and God's pledge to humble this proud, deceitful nation

Woven throughout these few verses are reminders that proud hearts that thrive on self-centeredness will reap the bitter fruit of judgement (Obadiah 2-7). We hear the ringing condemnation and promise of failure for those who find pleasure in someone else's tragedy (Obadiah 10-14). And the certainty of destruction is revealed for those who hold grudges or take revenge on others (Obadiah 15-17). Obadiah resoundingly proclaims that NO SITUATION, NATION OR CIRCUMSTANCE CAN BE TRULY SECURE UNLESS GOD IS IN THE CENTER OF IT, FOR JUSTICE ULTIMATELY BELONGS TO HIM
