This
is
the vision of Obadiah :
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
about
Edom —
We have heard a
message
from the
LORD;
an envoy
has
been
sent among the nations to
say
, “Rise
up
, and let us go
to
battle
against her !”—
The vision of Obadiah .
Thus
saith
the Lord Jehovah
concerning
Edom :
We have heard tidings
from Jehovah,
and
an ambassador
is
sent among the nations, `saying'
, Arise
ye,
and let us rise
up
against her in
battle.
“
Behold, I will
make
you
small among the nations ;
you
will
be
deeply
despised.
Behold, I have
made
thee
small among the nations :
thou
art
greatly
despised.
The pride of your
heart has
deceived you
, O dwellers
in the clefts of the rocks
whose habitation is the
heights,
who
say
in your
heart, ‘
Who can
bring me down to the ground? ’
The pride of thy
heart hath
deceived thee
, O thou
that
dwellest
in the clefts of the rock,
whose habitation is high;
that
saith
in his
heart, Who shall
bring me down to the ground?
Though you
soar
like
the eagle and make
your
nest among the stars, even
from
there
I will bring you
down, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Though thou
mount
on
high
as
the eagle ,
and though
thy
nest be
set
among the stars, I will bring thee
down from
thence
, saith
Jehovah
.
“
If thieves came to you
, if robbers by night —
oh,
how you
will
be
ruined—
would they not steal only what
they wanted
? If grape gatherers came to you
, would they not leave some gleanings
?
If thieves came to thee
, if robbers by night (
how art
thou
cut
off!),
would they not steal `
only '
till
they had
enough
? if grape -
gatherers came to thee
, would they not leave some gleaning
grapes
?
But
how Esau will
be
pillaged,
his hidden treasures sought out!
How are
`the
things
of'
Esau searched!
how
are
his hidden treasures sought out!
All the men allied
with
you
will
drive
you
to the border ;
the men at peace with you
will
deceive
and overpower
you.
Those
who
eat your
bread will
set
a trap
for
you
without
your
awareness
of
it
.
All the men of
thy
confederacy
have
brought
thee
on
thy
way,
even
to the border :
the men that
were
at peace with thee
have
deceived
thee,
and prevailed
against
thee;
`they
that
eat '
thy
bread lay
a snare
under
thee:
there
is
no
understanding
in
him
.
In that day, declares
the
LORD
, will
I
not
destroy the wise men of Edom and the
men
of
understanding in
the mountains
of Esau?
Shall
I
not
in that day, saith
Jehovah
, destroy the wise men out
of Edom ,
and understanding out
of
the mount
of Esau?
Then
your
mighty men, O Teman, will
be terrified
, so
that
everyone
in
the mountains
of
Esau
will
be cut down
in
the slaughter.
And
thy
mighty men, O Teman, shall
be dismayed
, to
the end
that
every
one
may
be cut off
from
the mount
of
Esau
by
slaughter.
Because
of
the violence against
your
brother Jacob, you
will
be
covered
with
shame and cut off forever
.
For
the violence done
to
thy
brother Jacob, shame shall
cover
thee,
and thou
shalt
be
cut off for
ever
.
On the day you
stood
aloof
while
strangers carried off
his wealth
and foreigners entered his gate
and cast lots for
Jerusalem, you
were
just
like
one of them.
In
the
day
that
thou
stoodest
on the other
side,
in
the
day that
strangers carried away
his substance,
and foreigners entered into
his gates,
and cast lots upon
Jerusalem, even
thou
wast
as
one of them.
But you
should
not gloat
in
that
day ,
your
brother’s
day of misfortune
, nor
rejoice over the people
of Judah in the day of their destruction ,
nor
boast
proudly in the day of their
distress.
But look
not thou
on
the
day of
thy
brother
in
the
day of his
disaster
, and
rejoice not
over the children
of Judah in the day of their destruction ;
neither
speak
proudly in the day of distress.
You
should
not
enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster
, nor
gloat
over
their affliction in the day of their disaster
, nor
loot
their wealth
in the day of their disaster
.
Enter not
into
the gate of my people in the day of their calamity;
yea
, look
not
thou
on
their affliction in the day of their calamity
, neither
lay
ye
`hands'
on
their substance
in the day of their calamity
.
Nor
should
you
stand at
the crossroads
to cut off their
fugitives,
nor
deliver up their
survivors
in the day of their
distress.
And
stand thou
not
in
the crossway,
to cut off those
of
his
that
escape;
and
deliver not
up those
of
his
that
remain
in the day of distress.
For the Day of the
LORD
is near for
all the nations .
As you
have
done, it will
be done to
you
; your
recompense
will
return upon your
own head.
For the day of Jehovah
is near upon
all the nations :
as thou
hast
done, it shall
be done unto
thee
; thy
dealing
shall
return upon thine
own head.
For as you
drank
on
My holy mountain, so all the nations will
drink continually .
They will
drink and gulp
it
down ;
they
will
be as if
they had never
existed
.
For as ye
have
drunk
upon
my holy mountain, so shall
all the nations drink continually ;
yea,
they shall
drink ,
and swallow
down ,
and
shall
be as though
they had not
been
.
But on
Mount Zion there will
be deliverance
, and it will
be holy ,
and the house of Jacob will
reclaim
their possession
.
But in
mount Zion there shall
be those
that
escape
, and it shall
be holy ;
and the house of Jacob shall
possess
their possessions
.
Then
the house of Jacob will
be a blazing
fire, and the house of Joseph a burning
flame ;
but
the house of Esau will
be
stubble —
Jacob
will
set
it
ablaze
and consume
it.
Therefore
no
survivor
will
remain
from
the house of Esau .”
For the
LORD
has
spoken.
And
the house of Jacob shall
be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame ,
and
the house of Esau for
stubble ,
and they
shall
burn
among
them,
and
devour
them;
and
there
shall
not
be
any
remaining
to
the house of Esau ;
for Jehovah
hath
spoken it
.
Those
from
the Negev
will
possess the mountains
of Esau ;
those
from
the
foothills
will
possess
the
land
of the Philistines .
They will
occupy
the fields
of Ephraim and Samaria ,
and Benjamin will
possess Gilead.
And
they
of
the South
shall
possess the mount
of Esau ,
and
they
of the lowland
the
Philistines ;
and
they shall
possess
the field
of Ephraim ,
and the
field
of
Samaria ;
and Benjamin `shall
possess '
Gilead.
And the exiles
of this host of the Israelites
will
possess
the
land
of the Canaanites as
far
as
Zarephath; and the exiles
from
Jerusalem who
are in Sepharad will
possess the cities of the Negev
.
And the captives
of this host of the children
of Israel,
that
are
`among'
the Canaanites ,
`shall
possess'
even
unto
Zarephath; and the captives
of
Jerusalem ,
that
are in Sepharad ,
shall
possess the cities of the South
.
The
deliverers
will
ascend
Mount Zion to rule
over
the mountains
of Esau .
And the kingdom will
belong
to
the
LORD
.
And
saviours
shall
come
up
on
mount Zion to judge
the mount
of Esau ;
and the kingdom shall
be
Jehovah's
.
