Obadiah 1:10-21

10“Because of 1violence to your brother Jacob, 2You will be covered with shame, 3And you will be cut off forever.11On the day that you 4stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And 5cast lots for Jerusalem-- 6You too were as one of them.12 7Do not 8gloat over your brother’s day, The day of his misfortune. And 9do not rejoice over the sons of Judah In the day of their destruction; Yes, 10do not 11boast In the day of their distress.13Do not enter the gate of My people In the 12day of their disaster. Yes, you, do not 13gloat over their calamity In the day of their disaster. And do not 14loot their wealth In the day of their disaster.14Do not 15stand at the fork of the road To cut down their fugitives; And do not imprison their survivors In the day of their distress.

15“For the 16day of the Lord draws near on all the nations. 17As you have done, it will be done to you. Your 18dealings will return on your own head.16Because just as you 19drank on 20My holy mountain, All the nations 21will drink continually. They will drink and 22swallow And become as if they had never existed.17But on Mount 23Zion there will be those who escape, And it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will 24possess their possessions.18Then the house of Jacob will be a 25fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set 26them on fire and consume 27them, So that there will be 28no survivor of the house of Esau,” For the Lord has spoken.19Then those of the 29Negev will 30possess the mountain of Esau, And those of the 31Shephelah the 32Philistine plain; Also, 33possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria, And Benjamin will possess Gilead.20And the exiles of this host of the sons of Israel, Who are among the Canaanites as far as 34Zarephath, And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Will possess the 35cities of the Negev.21The 36deliverers will ascend Mount Zion To judge the mountain of Esau, And the 37kingdom will be the Lord’s.
