Obadiah 1:1-9

1The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning EdomH123;1 We have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 among the heathenH1471, AriseH6965 ye, and let us rise upH6965 against her in battleH4421. 2Behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959. 3The prideH2087 of thy heartH3820 hath deceivedH5377 thee, thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whose habitationH3427 is highH4791; that saithH559 in his heartH3820, Who shall bring me downH3381 to the groundH776? 42Though thou shalt exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou shalt setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, from there will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 5If3 thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, if robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (how art thou cut offH1820!) would they not have stolenH1589 till they had enoughH1767? if the grapegatherersH1219 cameH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some grapesH5955?4 6How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things soughtH1158! 7All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366:5 the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee6 have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a trapH4204 under thee: there is no understandingH8394 in him.7 88Shall I not in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215? 9And thy mightyH1368 men, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 may be cut offH3772 by slaughterH6993.
