1.2 KiB
Obadiah's vision concerning Edom continues.
The pride of your heart
Yahweh uses the part of a person's body that is associated with emotions to refer to the people of Edom feeling pride. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
in the clefts of the rock
"in the cracks in the rock"
in your lofty home
"in your home that was built in a high place"
Who will bring me down to the ground?
This question is showing how the Edomites were proud and felt safe. AT: "I am safe from all attackers." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Though you tower high like the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars
Both of these phrases are saying Edom is built much higher than possible, to say it was built in a very high place. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole, rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
tower
to be much taller than other things.
I will bring you down from there
Pride is associated with height and humility is associated with being low. Yahweh says he will bring Edom down to say he will humble it. AT: "I will humble you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
