John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:6

Verse 6 He confirms the former sentence, — that the Idumeans in vain trusted that their riches would be safe, because they had hidden and deep recesses. Even when a country is plundered by enemies, the conquerors dare not to come to places of danger; when there are narrow passes, they avoid them, for they think that there is there some evil design. Hence conquerors, fearing hidden places, plunder only those which are open, and always consider well whether their advance is safe: but Idumea, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:1-4

Edom subdued. "The vision of Obadiah Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord," etc. We have said that, although there are so many Obadiahs mentioned in Scripture, the prophet cannot be identified with any of them. The sacred writers were never ready to put themselves into prominence. They had their message to deliver. They had their solemn work to perform. They had Jehovah to glorify. They were content to be no more than a voice crying in the... read more

Pride. "Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee," etc. These words may be taken as suggesting and illustrating one of the chief sins of all sinners, viz. pride, that which poets tell us "peoples hell and holds its prisoners there." The words suggest three facts in relation to pride. I. THAT THE MOST DESPICABLE PEOPLE ARE OFTEN THE MOST DISPOSED TO PRIDE . Edom, which is charged... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:3

Hath deceived; Septuagint, ἐπῆρε , "elated;" Vulgate, extulit . The pointing varies. In Obadiah 1:7 Jerome translates the word by illudere . The clefts; Septuagint, ὀπαῖς : Vulgate, scissuris . The word occurs in the parallel passage, Jeremiah 49:16 , and in So Jeremiah 2:14 , where it has the meaning of "refuge." Of the rook. This may be Sela, or Petra, as 2 Kings 14:7 . The country inhabited by the Edomites lay on the eastern side of the Arabah, and extended from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:3-4

The deceptiveness of human pride. The prophecies of Obadiah were mainly addressed to the Edomites, the descendants of Esau, a wild and warlike people who inhabited the mountainous region to the south of the Dead Sea. Their hostility and treachery towards their kinsmen, the descendants of Israel, were the occasion of the threatenings with which this book abounds. Fancying themselves secure and impregnable in their singular mountain fastnesses, they deemed their neighbours altogether... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:4

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle. The Hebrew gives "nest" as the subject of both clauses, thus: "Though thou exaltest … and settest thy nest." Job ( Job 39:27 , Job 39:28 ) speaks of the eagle making its nest in the highest rocks. The metaphor is found in Numbers 24:21 ; Habakkuk 2:9 . Will I bring thee down ( Amos 9:3 ). The seizure of Petra by the Nabathaeans is the judgment referred to in this part of the prophecy; the complete ruin is mentioned later ( Habakkuk 2:18 ,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Obadiah 1:5

Thieves... robbers. The former are ordinary thieves who pilfer secretly; the latter are robbers who act with violence, or members of a marauding expedition. How art thou cut off! An interposed ejaculation of the prophet, sympathizing with the Edomites for the utter desolation which he sees in vision. Septuagint, ποῦ ἄν ἀπεῤῥίφης ; "Where wouldst thou have been east away?" taking a different reading; Vulgate, Quomodo conticuisses? "How wouldst thou have been silent?" i.e. for... read more
