It's All Over But The Funeral


"Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
         You are greatly despised.
3"The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
         You who live in the clefts of the rock,
         In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
         Who say in your heart,
         'Who will bring me down to earth?'
4"Though you build high like the eagle,
         Though you set your nest among the stars,
         From there I will bring you down," declares the LORD.

15"For the day of the LORD draws near on all the nations
         As you have done, it will be done to you
         Your dealings will return on your own head.
16"Because just as you drank on My holy mountain,
         All the nations will drink continually.
         They will drink and swallow
         And become as if they had never existed.
17"But on Mount Zion there will be those who escape,
         And it will be holy
         And the house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
18"Then the house of Jacob will be a fire
         And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be as stubble
         And they will set them on fire and consume them,
         So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,"
         For the LORD has spoken.
Obadiah 1
