Obadiah 1

New American Standard Bible 1995

Edom Will Be Humbled

1The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068 concerning 2EdomH112-- 3We have heardH8085 a reportH8052 from the LordH3068, And an 4envoyH6735 has been sentH7971 among the nationsH1471 saying, “5AriseH6965 and let us goH6965 againstH5921 her for battleH4421”--2“BeholdH2009, I will makeH5414 you 6smallH6996 among the nationsH1471; You are greatlyH3966 despisedH959.3The 7arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, You who liveH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 8the 9rockH5553, In the loftinessH4791 of your dwellingH7931 placeH7675, Who sayH559 in your heartH3820, ‘10WhoH4310 will bringH3381 me downH3381 to earthH776?’4ThoughH518 you 11buildH1361 highH1361 like the eagleH5404, ThoughH518 you setH7760 your nestH7064 amongH996 the 12starsH3556, From thereH8033 I will bringH3381 you downH3381,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.5“IfH518 13thievesH1590 cameH935 to you, IfH518 14robbersH7703 by nightH3915-- O howH349 you will be ruinedH1820!-- Would they not stealH1589 only 15until they hadH1767 enoughH1767? IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 cameH935 to you, 16Would they not leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6O howH349 EsauH6215 will be 17ransackedH2664, And his hiddenH4710 treasuresH4710 searchedH1158 out!7AllH3605 the 18menH376 19alliedH1285 with you Will sendH7971 you forth to the borderH1366, And the menH376 at peaceH7965 with you Will deceiveH5378 you and overpowerH3201 you. They who eat your 20breadH3899 Will setH7760 an ambushH4204 for you. (ThereH369 is 21noH369 understandingH8394 22in him.)8Will I not on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “23DestroyH6 wiseH2450 menH2450 from EdomH112 And understandingH8394 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your 24mightyH1368 menH1368 will be dismayedH2865, O 25TemanH8487, So that everyoneH376 may be 26cutH3772 offH3772 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215 by slaughterH6993.

10“BecauseH4480 of 27violenceH2555 to your brotherH251 JacobH3290, 28You will be coveredH3680 with shameH955, 29And you will be cutH3772 offH3772 foreverH5769.11On the dayH3117 that you 30stoodH5975 aloofH4480H5048, On the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carriedH7617 offH7617 his wealthH2428, And foreignersH5237 enteredH935 his gateH8179 And 31castH3032 lotsH1486 for JerusalemH3389-- 32You tooH1571 were as oneH259 of them.1233Do not 34gloatH7200 over your brother’sH251 dayH3117, The dayH3117 of his misfortuneH5235. And 35do not rejoiceH8055 over the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 In the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; Yes, 36do not 37boastH1431H6310 In the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.13Do not enterH935 the gateH8179 of My peopleH5971 In the 38dayH3117 of their disasterH343. YesH1571, you, do not 39gloatH7200 over their calamityH7463 In the dayH3117 of their disasterH343. And do not 40lootH7971 their wealthH2428 In the dayH3117 of their disasterH343.14Do not 41standH5975 at the forkH6563 of the roadH6563 To cutH3772 downH3772 their fugitivesH6412; And do not imprisonH5462 their survivorsH8300 In the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

15“For the 42dayH3117 of the LordH3068 drawsH7138 nearH7138 on allH3605 the nationsH1471. 43As you have doneH6213, it will be doneH6213 to you. Your 44dealingsH1576 will returnH7725 on your own headH7218.16BecauseH3588 justH3512 as you 45drankH8354 on 46My holyH6944 mountainH2022, AllH3605 the nationsH1471 47will drinkH8354 continuallyH8548. They will drinkH8354 and 48swallowH3886 And becomeH1961 as if they had neverH3808 existedH1961.17But on MountH2022 49ZionH6726 there will be those whoH6413 escapeH6413, And it will be holyH6944. And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 will 50possessH3423 their possessionsH4180.18Then the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 will be a 51fireH784 And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852; But the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 will be as stubbleH7179. And they will setH1814 52them on fireH1814 and consumeH398 53them, So that there will be 54noH3808 survivorH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215,” For the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.19Then those of the 55NegevH5045 will 56possessH3423 the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215, And those of the 57ShephelahH8219 the 58PhilistineH6430 plain; Also, 59possessH3423 the territoryH7704 of EphraimH669 and the territoryH7704 of SamariaH8111, And BenjaminH1144 will possess GileadH1568.20And the exilesH1546 of thisH2088 hostH2426 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, WhoH834 are among the CanaanitesH3669 as farH5704 as 60ZarephathH6886, And the exilesH1546 of JerusalemH3389 whoH834 are in SepharadH5614 Will possessH3423 the 61citiesH5892 of the NegevH5045.21The 62deliverersH3467 will ascendH5927 MountH2022 ZionH6726 To judgeH8199 the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215, And the 63kingdomH4410 will be the Lord’sH3068.
