Obadiah 1:3-4
"3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; you who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’ 4 Though you ascend as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” says the Lord."
"3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; you who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’ 4 Though you ascend as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” says the Lord."
Like Edom, pride makes many trust in their own defenses, arrogantly believing that not even God can level the fortresses built high as a Swiss fort on a mountaintop. Even if we travel to the stars, we are never too strong for pride to bring us down. God alone is sovereign over history, nations, and each of us.
