Obadiah 1:2-14

2“BeholdH2009, I will make youH5414 smallH6996 among the nationsH1471; youH859 will be deeplyH3966 despisedH959.3The prideH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceived youH5377, O dwellersH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rocksH55531 whose habitation isH7675 the heightsH4791, who sayH559 in your heartH3820, ‘WhoH4310 can bring me downH3381 to the groundH776?’4ThoughH518 you soarH1361 like the eagleH5404H518 and makeH7760 your nestH7064 amongH996 the starsH3556, even from thereH8033 I will bring you downH3381,” declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.5“IfH518 thievesH1590 cameH935 to you, ifH518 robbersH7703 by nightH3915— oh, howH349 you will be ruinedH1820— would they notH3808 stealH1589 only what they wantedH1767? IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 cameH935 to you, would they notH3808 leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6But howH349 EsauH6215 will be pillagedH2664, his hidden treasuresH4710 sought outH1158!7AllH3605 the menH582 allied with youH1285 will driveH7971 you toH5704 the borderH1366; the menH582 at peace with youH7965 will deceiveH5377 and overpowerH3201 you. Those who eat your breadH38992 will setH7760 a trapH4204 for youH8478 without yourH369 awarenessH8394 of it.8In thatH1931 dayH3117, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, will I notH3808 destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men of EdomH123 and the men of understandingH8394 in the mountainsH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your mighty menH1368, O TemanH8487, will be terrifiedH2865, so thatH4616 everyoneH376 in the mountainsH2022 of EsauH6215 will be cut downH3772 in the slaughterH6993.

10Because of the violenceH2555 against your brotherH251 JacobH3290,you will be coveredH3680 with shameH955and cut offH3772 foreverH5769.11On the dayH3117 you stoodH5975 aloofH5048whileH3117 strangersH2114 carried offH7617 his wealthH2428and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 his gateH8179and castH3032 lotsH1486H1571 forH5921 JerusalemH3389,youH859 were just like oneH259 of them.12But you should notH408 gloatH7200 in that dayH3117,your brother’sH251 dayH3117 of misfortuneH5235,norH408 rejoiceH8055 over the peopleH1121 of JudahH3063in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6,norH408 boast proudlyH1431H63103in the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.13You should notH408 enterH935 the gateH8179 of My peopleH5971in the dayH3117 of their disasterH343,norH408 gloatH7200 overH1571 their afflictionH7451in the dayH3117 of their disasterH343,norH408 lootH7971 their wealthH2428in the dayH3117 of their disasterH343.14Nor should youH408 standH5975 atH5921 the crossroadsH6563to cut offH3772 their fugitivesH6412,norH408 deliver upH5462 their survivorsH8300in the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.
