# Chapter 1
|
||||
1 The vision of Obadiah.
|
||||
Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom
|
||||
(We have heard a report from the Lord,
|
||||
And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying,
|
||||
"Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):
|
||||
|
||||
2. "Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
|
||||
“Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle”):
|
||||
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
|
||||
You shall be greatly despised.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The pride of your heart has deceived you,
|
||||
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
|
||||
You who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
|
||||
Whose habitation is high;
|
||||
You who say in your heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
|
||||
|
||||
4. Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
|
||||
You who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
|
||||
4 Though you ascend as high as the eagle,
|
||||
And though you set your nest among the stars,
|
||||
From there I will bring you down," says the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
5. "If thieves had come to you,
|
||||
If robbers by night--
|
||||
Oh, how you will be cut off!--
|
||||
From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord.
|
||||
5 “If thieves had come to you,
|
||||
If robbers by night—
|
||||
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
|
||||
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
|
||||
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
|
||||
Would they not have left some gleanings?
|
||||
|
||||
6. "Oh, how Esau shall be searched out!
|
||||
6 “Oh, how Esau shall be searched out!
|
||||
How his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
|
||||
|
||||
7. All the men in your confederacy
|
||||
7 All the men in your confederacy
|
||||
Shall force you to the border;
|
||||
The men at peace with you
|
||||
Shall deceive you and prevail against you.
|
||||
Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you.
|
||||
No one is aware of it.
|
||||
|
||||
8. "Will I not in that day," says the Lord,
|
||||
"Even destroy the wise men from Edom,
|
||||
8 “Will I not in that day,” says the Lord,
|
||||
“Even destroy the wise men from Edom,
|
||||
And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
|
||||
|
||||
9. Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
|
||||
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
|
||||
To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau
|
||||
May be cut off by slaughter.
|
||||
Edom Mistreated His Brother
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
10. "For violence against your brother Jacob,
|
||||
10 “For violence against your brother Jacob,
|
||||
Shame shall cover you,
|
||||
And you shall be cut off forever.
|
||||
|
||||
11. In the day that you stood on the other side--
|
||||
11 In the day that you stood on the other side—
|
||||
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
|
||||
When foreigners entered his gates
|
||||
And cast lots for Jerusalem--
|
||||
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
|
||||
Even you were as one of them.
|
||||
|
||||
12. "But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother
|
||||
12 “But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother
|
||||
In the day of his captivity;
|
||||
Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah
|
||||
In the day of their destruction;
|
||||
Nor should you have spoken proudly
|
||||
In the day of distress.
|
||||
|
||||
13. You should not have entered the gate of My people
|
||||
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
|
||||
In the day of their calamity.
|
||||
Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction
|
||||
In the day of their calamity,
|
||||
Nor laid hands on their substance
|
||||
In the day of their calamity.
|
||||
|
||||
14. You should not have stood at the crossroads
|
||||
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
|
||||
To cut off those among them who escaped;
|
||||
Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained
|
||||
In the day of distress.
|
||||
|
||||
15. "For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
|
||||
15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
|
||||
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
|
||||
Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
|
||||
|
||||
16. For as you drank on My holy mountain,
|
||||
16 For as you drank on My holy mountain,
|
||||
So shall all the nations drink continually;
|
||||
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
|
||||
And they shall be as though they had never been.
|
||||

|
||||
And there shall be holiness;
|
||||
The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
|
||||
|
||||
18. The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
|
||||
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
|
||||
And the house of Joseph a flame;
|
||||
But the house of Esau shall be stubble;
|
||||
They shall kindle them and devour them,
|
||||
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,"
|
||||
And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau,”
|
||||
For the Lord has spoken.
