Obadiah 1:10-18

10For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769. 11In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them.1 12But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869.2 13Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343;3 14Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869.4 15For the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218. 16For as ye have drunkH8354 upon my holyH6944 mountainH2022, so shall all the heathenH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yea, they shall drinkH8354, and they shall swallow downH3886, and they shall be as though they had notH3808 been.5

17But upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 shall be deliveranceH6413, and there shall be holinessH6944; and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall possessH3423 their possessionsH4180.67 18And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall be a fireH784, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852, and the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 for stubbleH7179, and they shall kindleH1814 in them, and devourH398 them; and there shall not be any remainingH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for YhwhH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
