Edom's haughtiness stands as a grave sin before God, marked by their gloating over Israel's misfortune. In the prophetic words of Obadiah, the Edomites' pride and violence against their brother Jacob are vividly condemned. They have mocked and taken advantage of Israel's distress, rejoicing in times of calamity, captivity, and destruction. God warns that this arrogance will not go unpunished, especially as it will recur most egregiously in the time of the end. He declares that as they have done, so it shall be done to them, ensuring that their reprisal returns upon their own heads. In the Day of the Lord, a time of reckoning near at hand, Edom shall drink the wine of His wrath, drinking until they are as though they had never been. God will remove their wealth, wisdom, and courage, and though they may gloat at Israel's fall, His vengeance will wipe them from the face of the earth.
