1The vision^H2377 of Obadiah^H5662. Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 concerning Edom^H123: We have heard^H8085 tidings^H8052 from Jehovah^H3068, and an ambassador^H6735 is sent^H7971 among the nations^H1471, saying, Arise^H6965 ye, and let us rise up^H6965 against her in battle^H4421. 2Behold, I have made^H5414 thee small^H6996 among the nations^H1471: thou art greatly^H3966 despised^H959. 3The pride^H2087 of thy heart^H3820 hath deceived^H5377 thee, O thou that dwellest^H7931 in the clefts^H2288 of the rock^H5553, whose habitation^H3427 is high^H4791; that saith^H559 in his heart^H3820, Who shall bring me down^H3381 to the ground^H776? 4Though thou mount on high^H1361 as the eagle^H5404, and though thy nest^H7064 be set^H7760 among the stars^H3556, I will bring thee down^H3381 from thence, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068. 5If thieves^H1590 came^H935 to thee, if robbers^H7703 by night^H3915 (how art thou cut off^H1820!), would they not steal^H1589 only till they had enough^H1767? if grape-gatherers^H1219 came^H935 to thee, would they not leave^H7604 some gleaning grapes^H5955? 6How are the things of Esau^H6215 searched^H2664! how are his hidden^H4710 treasures sought out^H2664! 7All the men^H582 of thy confederacy^H1285 have brought^H7971 thee on thy way, even to the border^H1366: the men^H582 that were at peace^H7965 with thee have deceived^H5377 thee, and prevailed^H3201 against thee; they that eat thy bread^H3899 lay^H7760 a snare^H4204 under thee: there is no understanding^H8394 in him. 8Shall I not in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068, destroy^H6 the wise^H2450 men out of Edom^H123, and understanding^H8394 out of the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215? 9And thy mighty^H1368 men, O Teman^H8487, shall be dismayed^H2865, to the end that every one^H376 may be cut off^H3772 from the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215 by slaughter^H6993. 10For the violence^H2555 done to thy brother^H251 Jacob^H3290, shame^H955 shall cover^H3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut off^H3772 for ever^H5769. 11In the day^H3117 that thou stoodest^H5975 on the other side, in the day^H3117 that strangers^H2114 carried^H7617 away his substance^H2428, and foreigners^H5237 entered^H935 into his gates^H8179, and cast^H3032 lots^H1486 upon Jerusalem^H3389, even thou wast as one^H259 of them. 12But look^H7200 not thou on the day^H3117 of thy brother^H251 in the day^H3117 of his disaster^H5235, and rejoice^H8055 not over the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 in the day^H3117 of their destruction^H6; neither speak^H6310 proudly^H1431 in the day^H3117 of distress^H6869. 13Enter^H935 not into the gate^H8179 of my people^H5971 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343; yea, look^H7200 not thou on their affliction^H7451 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343, neither lay^H7971 ye hands on their substance^H2428 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343. 14And stand^H5975 thou not in the crossway^H6563, to cut off^H3772 those of his that escape^H6412; and deliver not up^H5462 those of his that remain^H8300 in the day^H3117 of distress^H6869. 15For the day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 is near^H7138 upon all the nations^H1471: as thou hast done^H6213, it shall be done^H6213 unto thee; thy dealing^H1576 shall return^H7725 upon thine own head^H7218. 16For as ye have drunk^H8354 upon my holy^H6944 mountain^H2022, so shall all the nations^H1471 drink^H8354 continually^H8548; yea, they shall drink^H8354, and swallow down^H3886, and shall be as though they had not^H3808 been. 17But in mount^H2022 Zion^H6726 there shall be those that escape^H6413, and it shall be holy^H6944; and the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290 shall possess^H3423 their possessions^H4180. 18And the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290 shall be a fire^H784, and the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130 a flame^H3852, and the house^H1004 of Esau^H6215 for stubble^H7179, and they shall burn^H1814 among them, and devour^H398 them; and there shall not be any remaining^H8300 to the house^H1004 of Esau^H6215; for Jehovah^H3068 hath spoken^H1696 it. 19And they of the South^H5045 shall possess^H3423 the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215, and they of the lowland^H8219 the Philistines^H6430; and they shall possess^H3423 the field^H7704 of Ephraim^H669, and the field^H7704 of Samaria^H8111; and Benjamin^H1144 shall possess Gilead^H1568. 20And the captives^H1546 of this host^H2426 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, that are among the Canaanites^H3669, shall possess even unto Zarephath^H6886; and the captives^H1546 of Jerusalem^H3389, that are in Sepharad^H5614, shall possess^H3423 the cities^H5892 of the South^H5045. 21And saviours^H3467 shall come up^H5927 on mount^H2022 Zion^H6726 to judge^H8199 the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215; and the kingdom^H4410 shall be Jehovah's^H3068.
