Obadiah 1:7-15

7All the 1men 2allied with you Will send you forth to the border, And the men at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your 3bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is 4no understanding 5in him.)8Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord, “6Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?9Then your 7mighty men will be dismayed, O 8Teman, So that everyone may be 9cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

10“Because of 10violence to your brother Jacob, 11You will be covered with shame, 12And you will be cut off forever.11On the day that you 13stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And 14cast lots for Jerusalem-- 15You too were as one of them.12 16Do not 17gloat over your brother’s day, The day of his misfortune. And 18do not rejoice over the sons of Judah In the day of their destruction; Yes, 19do not 20boast In the day of their distress.13Do not enter the gate of My people In the 21day of their disaster. Yes, you, do not 22gloat over their calamity In the day of their disaster. And do not 23loot their wealth In the day of their disaster.14Do not 24stand 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 25day of the Lord draws near on all the nations. 26As you have done, it will be done to you. Your 27dealings will return on your own head.
