The Book ofObadiah
Old Testament · Book 31 of 66 · 1 chapter · 21 verses
Obadiah, the Old Testament's shortest book, is a single oracle against Edom for gloating over Jerusalem's fall. Its message stands for every generation: pride deceives, betrayal of family is judged, but on Mount Zion there will be deliverance — and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
