However, when the Babylonian army attacked Jerusalem, the Edomites not only stood by passively but also took advantage of the chaos to rob the fleeing Judeans, intercepting and plundering their belongings. The prophet Obadiah declared that God's judgment would come upon proud Edom, because God watches over His people and all nations that harm Israel will face righteous retribution.
