Obadiah 1:7-15

7All the 1people 2allied with you Will send you to the border, And the people 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, “6Eliminate wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountain of Esau?9Then your 7warriors will be filled with terror, 8Teman, So that everyone will be 9eliminated from the mountain of Esau by murder.

10“Because of 10violence to your brother Jacob, Shame will cover you, 11And you will be eliminated forever.11On the day that you 12stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And 13cast lots for Jerusalem-- 14You too were as one of them.12 15Do not 16gloat over your brother’s day, The day of his misfortune. And 17do not rejoice over the sons of Judah On the day of their destruction; Yes, 18do not 19boast On the day of their distress.13Do not enter the gate of My people On the 20day of their disaster. You indeed, do not 21gloat over their catastrophe On the day of their disaster. And do not 22lay a hand on their wealth On the day of their disaster.14Do not 23stand at the crossroads To eliminate their survivors; And do not hand over their refugees On the day of their distress.

15“For the 24day of the Lord is near for all the nations. 25Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your 26dealings will return on your own head.
