Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah
to
Edom ,
A
report
we have heard from Jehovah
, And an ambassador among
nations
was
sent ,
`Rise
, yea
, let us rise against her for
battle. '
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.
Lo
, little
I have made thee among nations,
Despised
`art'
thou exceedingly
.
Behold
, I have made thee small
among the
heathen:
thou art
greatly
despised
.
The pride of thy
heart hath lifted
thee up
, O
dweller
in clifts
of a
rock, (A
high
place
`is'
his
habitation ,
He
is saying
in his heart, `
Who doth
bring me down `
to '
earth
? ')
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
?
If
thou dost
go
up
high
as an
eagle, And if
between
stars
thou dost
set thy nest, From
thence I bring thee down, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
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
.
If thieves have
come
in
to thee, If spoilers
of
the
night, How hast
thou been
cut off! Do
they not steal
their
sufficiency
? If gatherers
have
come
in
to thee, Do
they not leave gleanings
?
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
?
How hath
Esau been
searched out! Flowed
out
have
his hidden things ,
How are
the
things
of
Esau searched out! how
are
his hidden things sought
up!
Unto
the border sent
thee have all
thine
allies,
Forgotten
thee, prevailed over
thee ,
have
thy
friends,
Thy bread they
make
a snare
under thee ,
There is no
understanding in him !
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 .
Is
it
not in that day --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, That
I
have
destroyed
the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?
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?
And broken
down
have
been
thy mighty ones
, O Teman, So
that every one of the mount of Esau is
cut off.
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
.
For slaughter,
for
violence `to'
thy brother Jacob ,
Cover thee doth
shame
, And thou hast
been
cut off --
to
the
age
.
For thy
violence against
thy brother Jacob shame
shall
cover thee, and thou shalt
be
cut off for
ever
.
In the day of
thy
standing
over-against
, In the day of
strangers taking
captive his force
, And foreigners have
entered his gates, And for
Jerusalem
have
cast a
lot
, Even thou `art'
as one of them !
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 .
And
--
thou dost
not look
on the day of thy brother ,
On
the day of
his
alienation,
Nor
dost
thou rejoice
over sons
of Judah ,
In the day of their destruction ,
Nor
make
great
thy
mouth
in a
day of distress.
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.
Nor
come
into a
gate of My people in a
day of their calamity ,
Nor
look
, even
thou ,
on its
misfortune
in a
day of its
calamity, Nor send
forth
against
its
force
in a
day of its
calamity ,
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 ;
Nor
stand
by
the breach
to cut off its
escaped,
Nor
deliver
up its
remnant
in a
day of distress.
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.
For near
`is'
the day of Jehovah,
on
all the nations,
As thou hast done, it is
done to
thee ,
Thy deed
doth
turn
back
on
thine own head.
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 --
as ye have drunk on
My holy mount
, Drink
do
all the nations
continually, And
they have
drunk
and have
swallowed
, And they have
been
as they have
not been.
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.
And
in
mount Zion there
is
an
escape
, And it
hath
been
holy,
And the house of Jacob have
possessed
their possessions.
But
upon
mount Zion shall
be
deliverance
, and there
shall
be
holiness;
and the house of Jacob shall
possess
their possessions.
And the house of Jacob hath
been
a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have
burned
among
them, And they
have
consumed
them ,
And there is
not a
remnant
to
the house of Esau ,
For Jehovah
hath 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
kindle
in
them, and devour
them ;
and there shall
not be
any
remaining
of
the house of Esau ;
for the
LORD
hath spoken it
.
And they have
possessed
the south with
the mount of Esau ,
And the low
country
with
the Philistines ,
And they have
possessed
the field
of Ephraim, And the field
of Samaria ,
And Benjamin with
Gilead.
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.
And the removed
of this force
of the sons
of Israel ,
That `is
with'
the Canaanites unto
Zarephat
, And the removed
of Jerusalem that
`
is '
with
the
Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
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 gone
up
have
saviours on mount Zion ,
To judge the mount of Esau ,
And the kingdom hath
been
to
Jehovah!'
And saviours shall
come
up
on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau ;
and the kingdom shall
be
the
LORD's.
