Obadiah 1:1-10, 15-18 and 2 Chronicles 20:1-27 (praise led battle).
In this case, the Lord sent Obadiah to prophesy against Edom—the Edomites, descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. Because of their pride the Lord brought this prophecy to cut them off forever because of the pride they had in their land and wisdom.
Proverbs 16:5 says, "The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished." Thus, the Lord really did not like their attitude, for God was the one who provided them with their land and wisdom.
This applies to us in the sense that we are to be humble people. Nothing we have comes to us from our own doing, but it comes from God's hand. No earthly wisdom or material possessions can be obtained if they are not freely given by God. God is the provider of all.
