OBADIAH

 

Obadiah

The Lord speaks against Edom’s pride

Who looks with scorn on Jacob’s side

Though mountains high and forts so strong

Their sins shall not escape for long

You stole, you gloated, caused the fall

But God will judge, He sees it all

The day of vengeance shall appear

Your arrogance shall bring great fear

The house of Jacob, though oppressed

Shall rise again, by God blessed

The savior comes, the kingdom stands

Restored by God’s almighty hands

Though violence once filled the land

The Lord will act, His will is planned

The exiles return, the captives freed

And justice blooms from every seed

The prideful nation shall be shown

The Lord will cast them from their throne

Their hearts that mocked, their tongues that lied

Shall quake when God stands at their side

The mountain heights belong to Him

The low shall rise, the proud grow dim

The day of Lord brings light & peace

All wicked schemes will find release

Though Edom’s walls once seemed secure

The Lord’s great power shall endure

The faithful shall possess the land

As promised by His mighty hand

Thus Obadiah warns the proud

Yet comforts those oppressed & bowed

The message clear, the call is near

God’s justice comes, His people cheer

Though brief the book, its truth is strong

God’s mercy, wrath, & right belong

To Him who sees, to Him who saves

To Him who rules both skies & waves
