The vision of Obadiah .
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD concerning
Edom ;
We have heard a rumour
from the LORD ,
and
an ambassador
is
sent among the heathen
, Arise
ye
, and let us rise
up
against her in
battle.
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 !”—
Behold, I have
made
thee
small among the heathen:
thou
art
greatly
despised.
“
Behold, I will
make
you
small among the nations;
you
will
be
deeply
despised.
The pride of thine
heart hath
deceived thee
, 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?
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? ’
Though thou
exalt
thyself
as
the eagle ,
and though
thou
set
thy
nest among the stars, thence
will
I bring thee
down, saith
the LORD.
Though you
soar
like
the eagle and make
your
nest among the stars, even
from
there
I will
bring you
down, ”
declares
the LORD.
If thieves came to thee
, if robbers by night, (
how art
thou
cut
off!)
would they not have
stolen
till
they had
enough
? if the
grapegatherers
came to thee
, would they not leave some grapes
?
“
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
?
How are
the
things
of
Esau searched
out!
how
are
his hidden things
sought up
!
But
how Esau will
be
pillaged,
his hidden treasures
sought out
!
All the men of
thy
confederacy
have
brought
thee
even
to the border :
the men that
were
at peace with thee
have
deceived
thee,
and prevailed
against
thee;
that
they
eat thy
bread have
laid
a wound
under
thee:
there
is
none
understanding
in
him
.
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
.
Shall
I
not
in that day, saith
the LORD, even
destroy the wise men out
of Edom ,
and understanding
out
of the mount
of Esau?
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?
And
thy
mighty men, O Teman, shall
be dismayed
, to
the
end
that every
one
of
the mount
of Esau may
be cut off
by
slaughter.
Then
your
mighty men, O Teman, will
be terrified
, so
that everyone
in
the mountains
of Esau will
be cut down
in
the
slaughter.
For
thy
violence against thy
brother Jacob shame
shall
cover
thee
, and
thou
shalt
be cut off for
ever
.
Because
of
the
violence against your
brother Jacob, you
will
be covered
with
shame
and
cut off forever
.
In
the
day
that
thou
stoodest
on the other
side,
in
the
day that
the
strangers carried away
captive
his forces,
and foreigners entered into
his gates,
and cast lots upon
Jerusalem, even
thou
wast
as
one of them.
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.
But thou
shouldest
not have
looked
on
the
day
of
thy
brother
in the
day
that he
became
a
stranger;
neither
shouldest
thou
have
rejoiced
over the children
of Judah in the day of their destruction ;
neither
shouldest
thou
have
spoken
proudly in the day of distress.
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.
Thou
shouldest
not have
entered
into
the gate of my people in the day of their calamity;
yea
, thou
shouldest
not
have
looked
on
their affliction in the day of their calamity
, nor have
laid
hands
on
their substance
in the day of their calamity;
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.
Neither
shouldest
thou
have
stood
in
the crossway,
to cut off those
of
his
that
did
escape;
neither
shouldest
thou
have
delivered
up those
of
his
that
did
remain
in the day of distress.
Nor
should
you
stand
at
the crossroads
to cut off their
fugitives,
nor
deliver
up their
survivors
in the day of their
distress.
For the day of the LORD is near upon
all the heathen:
as thou
hast
done, it shall
be done unto
thee:
thy
reward
shall
return upon thine
own head.
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 as ye
have
drunk
upon
my holy mountain, so shall
all the heathen
drink continually ,
yea,
they shall
drink ,
and they
shall
swallow
down ,
and
they shall
be as though
they had not
been
.
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
.
But upon
mount Zion shall
be deliverance, and there
shall
be holiness;
and the house of Jacob shall
possess
their possessions
.
But on
Mount Zion there
will
be deliverance, and it
will
be holy,
and the house of Jacob will
reclaim
their possession
.
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
kindle
in
them,
and
devour
them;
and there
shall
not
be
any
remaining
of
the house of Esau ;
for the LORD hath
spoken it
.
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
they
of
the south
shall
possess the mount
of Esau; and
they
of
the plain
the Philistines :
and
they shall
possess
the fields of Ephraim ,
and the
fields
of
Samaria :
and Benjamin shall
possess Gilead.
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 the captivity
of this host of the children
of
Israel
shall
possess that
of the Canaanites ,
even
unto
Zarephath; and the captivity
of
Jerusalem ,
which
is
in Sepharad ,
shall
possess the cities of the south
.
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
saviours
shall
come
up
on
mount Zion to judge
the mount
of Esau ;
and the kingdom shall
be
the LORD's
.
The
deliverers
will
ascend
Mount Zion to rule
over
the mountains
of Esau .
And the kingdom will
belong
to
the LORD
.
