Obadiah 1:2

I have made thee small--Thy reduction to insignificance is as sure as if it were already accomplished; therefore the past tense is used [MAURER]. Edom then extended from Dedan of Arabia to Bozrah in the north (Jeremiah 49:8, Jeremiah 49:13). CALVIN explains it, "Whereas thou wast made by Me an insignificant people, why art thou so proud" (Obadiah 1:3)? But if so, why should the heathen peoples be needed to subdue one so insignificant? Jeremiah 49:15, confirms MAURER'S view.
