Deep inside the Bible you can mark the place
Smallest book in the Old Testament
There you'll find the prophet Obadiah's space
And if at first you do not see him, try again
Obed-Edom, Obadiah, why so small, bro?
Smallest prophet of them all
Obed-Edom, Obadiah, why so small, bro?
Smallest prophet of them all
Edom tried to polish off the Jews for sure
Why? Because of their old rivalry
Every time a foreign army came for war
Against Jerusalem the Edomites would sing
"Oh, bad Edom," Obadiah prophesied, "Bro
Now you're gonna have to fall!"
"Oh, bad Edom," Obadiah prophesied, "Bro
Now you're gonna have to fall!"
In a couple of years, they will tear you down, Edom
And Jehovah will teach you there is a price
For messin' with those He loves
Happy ever after in the modern days
Israel's back inside the Promised Land
Edomites have disappeared without a trace
And as for Edom it's just mostly desert sand
Too bad, Edom, Obadiah tried to warn ya
God was watchin' after all
Too bad, Edom, Obadiah tried to warn ya
God was watchin' after all
In a couple of years, they will tear you down, Edom
And Jehovah will teach you there is a price
For messin' with those He loves
Happy ever after in the modern days
Israel's back inside the Promised Land
Edomites have disappeared without a trace
And as for Edom it's now somewhere in Jordan
Too bad, Edom, Obadiah tried to warn ya
God was watchin' after all
Too bad, Edom, Obadiah tried to warn ya
God was watchin' after all
And if you got some time, just go read Obadiah
*NOTE: Obed-Edom and Obadiah are two biblical names that don't have much to do with each other, except for the fact that they sound cool together. However, Obed-Edom means "servant of Edom," and in a sense, Obadiah was a servant of Edom, because he served them a prophecy of impending judgment from the Lord.
Obadiah 1:10
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.
