Obadiah 1

New American Standard Bible 2020

Edom Will Be Humbled

1The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 saysH559 concerning 2EdomH112-- 3We have heardH8085 a reportH8052 from the LordH3068, And a 4messengerH6735 has been sentH7971 among the nationsH1471 saying, “5AriseH6965, and let’s goH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 her for battleH4421”--2“BeholdH2009, I will makeH5414 you 6smallH6996 among the nationsH1471; You areH959 greatlyH3966 despisedH959.3The 7arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, The one who livesH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 8the 9rockH5553, On the heightH4791 of his dwellingH7675 placeH7675, Who saysH559 in his heartH3820, ‘10WhoH4310 will bringH3381 me downH3381 to earthH776?’4ThoughH518 you 11makeH1361 your home 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-- OhH349 howH349 you will be ruinedH1820!-- Would they not stealH1589 only 15until they had enoughH1767? IfH518 grape-pickersH1219 cameH935 to you, 16Would they not leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955?6OhH349 howH349 EsauH6215 will be 17searchedH2664, And his hiddenH4710 treasuresH4710 searchedH1158 outH1158!7AllH3605 the 18peopleH376 19alliedH1285 with you Will sendH7971 you to the borderH1366, And the peopleH376 at peaceH7965 with you Will deceiveH5378 you and overpowerH3201 you. They who eat your 20breadH3899 Will setH7760 an ambushH4204 for you. (ThereH369 isH369 21noH369 understandingH8394 22in him.)8Will I not on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “23EliminateH6 wiseH2450 menH2450 from EdomH112, And understandingH8394 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215?9Then your 24warriorsH1368 will be filledH2865 withH2865 terrorH2865, 25TemanH8487, SoH4616 thatH4616 everyoneH376 will be 26eliminatedH3772 from the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215 by murderH6993.

10“BecauseH4480 of 27violenceH2555 to your brotherH251 JacobH3290, ShameH955 will coverH3680 you, 28And you will be eliminatedH3772 foreverH5769.11On the dayH3117 that you 29stoodH5975 aloofH4480H5048, On the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carriedH7617 offH7617 his wealthH2428, And foreignersH5237 enteredH935 his gateH8179 And 30castH3032 lotsH1486 for JerusalemH3389-- 31You tooH1571 were as oneH259 of them.1232Do not 33gloatH7200 over your brother’sH251 dayH3117, The dayH3117 of his misfortuneH5235. And 34do not rejoiceH8055 over the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 On the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; Yes, 35do not 36boastH1431H6310 On the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.13Do not enterH935 the gateH8179 of My peopleH5971 On the 37dayH3117 of their disasterH343. You indeedH1571, do not 38gloatH7200 over their catastropheH7463 On the dayH3117 of their disasterH343. And do not 39layH7971 a hand on their wealthH2428 On the dayH3117 of their disasterH343.14Do not 40standH5975 at the crossroadsH6563 To eliminateH3772 their survivorsH6412; And do not handH5462 overH5462 their refugeesH8300 On the dayH3117 of their distressH6869.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

15“For the 41dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138 for allH3605 the nationsH1471. 42JustH3512 asH3512 you have doneH6213, it will be doneH6213 to you. Your 43dealingsH1576 will returnH7725 on your own headH7218.16For justH3512 asH3512 you 44drankH8354 on 45My holyH6944 mountainH2022, AllH3605 the nationsH1471 46will drinkH8354 continuallyH8548. They will drinkH8354 47toH3886 theH3886 lastH3886 dropH3886, And becomeH1961 as if they had neverH3808 existedH1961.17But on MountH2022 48ZionH6726 there will be those whoH6413 escapeH6413, And it will be holyH6944. And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 will 4950possessH3423 their 51propertyH4180.18Then the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 will be a 52fireH784, And the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852; But the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 will be like stubbleH7179. And they will setH1814 53them onH1814 fireH1814 and consumeH398 54them, So that there will be 55noH3808 survivorH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215,” For the LordH3068 has spokenH1696.19Then those of the 56NegevH5045 will 5758possessH3423 the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215, And those of the 59ShephelahH8219 the 60PhilistineH6430 plain; Also, 61they will 62possessH3423 the territoryH7704 of EphraimH669 and the territoryH7704 of SamariaH8111, And BenjaminH1144 the territory of GileadH1568.20And the exilesH1546 of thisH2088 armyH2426 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, WhoH834 are among the CanaanitesH3669 as farH5704 as 63ZarephathH6886, And the exilesH1546 of JerusalemH3389 whoH834 are in SepharadH5614, Will 64possessH3423 the 65citiesH5892 of the NegevH5045.2166The 67deliverersH3467 will ascendH5927 MountH2022 ZionH6726 To judgeH8199 the mountainH2022 of EsauH6215, And the 68kingdomH4410 will be the Lord’sH3068.
