Fresco from St Mary's Church, Bergen, with a quote from Obadiah 17: "Upon Mount Zion there will be deliverance.". The Book of Obadiah is based on a prophetic vision concerning the fall of Edom, [6] a mountain-dwelling nation [7] whose founding father was Esau.
Verses 14-16 announce in poetry the sending of an unnamed messenger among the nations (including Edom). O'Connor argues that "by implication, Jeremiah is the messenger", although Obadiah 1:1 has very similar wording attributed to the prophet Obadiah: Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord,
