1:1The
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. 1:2Behold, I have
made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. 1:3The 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? 1:4Though 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. 1:5If 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? 1:6How are the things of Esau
searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out! 1:7All 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. 1:8Shall I not in that day, saith
Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the
mount of Esau? 1:9And 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. 1:10For the violence done to thy brother
Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 1:11In 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. 1:12But 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. 1:13Enter 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. 1:14And 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. 1:15For 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. 1:16For 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. 1:17But in mount
Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house
of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 1:18And 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. 1:19And 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. 1:20And 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.
1:21And
saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the
kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
