1The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. ThusH3541 saith the LordH3068 GODH3068 concerning EdomH123: WeH8085 have heardH8085 tidingsH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassador is sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, sayingH559, AriseH6965 ye, and letH7971 usH5921 riseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 herH7971 in battleH4421. 2BeholdH2009, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the nationsH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959. 3The prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whoseH4310 habitation is highH4791; that saith in his heartH3820, Who shall bringH3381 meH3381 downH3381 to the groundH776? 4ThoughH518 thou mount on highH1361 as the eagleH5404, and thoughH518 thy nestH7064 be setH7760 among the starsH3556, I will bringH3381 thee downH3381 from thence, saith the LORDH3068. 5IfH518 thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, ifH518 robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (howH349 art thou cutH1820 offH1820!) would they notH3808 stealH1589 till they had enoughH1767? ifH518 grapegatherers cameH935 to thee, would they notH3808 leaveH7604 someH5955 gleaningH5955 grapes? 6HowH349 are the things of EsauH6215 searchedH2664 out! howH349 are his hiddenH4710 treasuresH4710 sought up! 7AllH3605 the menH376 of thy confederacy have broughtH7760 thee on thy wayH3605, evenH5704 to the borderH1366: the menH376 that were at peaceH7965 with thee have deceived thee, and prevailedH3201 againstH376 thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 layH7760 a snare underH8478 thee: there is noneH369 understandingH8394 in him. 8Shall I notH3808 in that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068, destroyH6 the wiseH2450 menH2450 outH6 of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 outH6 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215? 9And thy mightyH1368 menH376, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that everyH376 one may be cutH3772 offH3772 from the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 by slaughterH6993. 10For the violenceH2555 done to thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cutH3772 offH3772 for everH5769. 11In the dayH3117 that thou stoodest on the otherH259 sideH5048, in the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carriedH7617 awayH7617 his substanceH2428, and foreignersH2114 enteredH935 intoH935 his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 uponH5921 JerusalemH3389, evenH1571 thou wast as one of them. 12But lookH7200 notH408 thou on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 of his disaster, and rejoiceH8055 notH408 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neitherH408 speakH6310 proudly in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. 13EnterH935 notH408 intoH935 the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, lookH7200 notH408 thou on their affliction in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, neitherH1571 layH7971 ye hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343. 14And standH5975 thou notH408 in the crossway, to cutH3772 offH3772 thoseH5921 of his that escapeH6412; and deliverH5462 notH408 upH5975 thoseH5921 of his that remainH5975 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. 15For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 uponH5921 allH3605 the nationsH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee; thy dealing shall returnH7725 uponH5921 thine own headH7218. 16For as ye have drunkH8354 uponH5921 my holyH6944 mountainH2022, soH1961 shall allH3605 the nationsH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yeaH3588, they shall drinkH8354, and swallow downH8354, and shall be as thoughH3588 they had notH3808 been. 17But in mountH2022 ZionH6726 there shall be thoseH853 that escapeH6413, and it shall be holyH6944; and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall possessH3423 their possessionsH4180. 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 burn among them, and devourH398 them: and there shall notH3808 be anyH1961 remaining to the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it. 19And they of the SouthH5045 shall possessH3423 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and they of the lowlandH8219 the PhilistinesH6430 and they shall possessH3423 the fieldH7704 of EphraimH669, and the fieldH7704 of SamariaH8111: and BenjaminH1144 shall possessH3423 GileadH1568. 20And the captivity of this hostH2426 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 are among the CanaanitesH3669, shall possessH3423 evenH5704 unto ZarephathH6886; and the captivity of JerusalemH3389, whichH834 is in SepharadH5614, shall possessH3423 the citiesH5892 of the SouthH5045. 21And saviours shall comeH1961 upH5927 on mountH2022 ZionH6726 to judgeH8199 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and the kingdomH4410 shall be the LORD’SH3068.
