Obadiah

Chapter 1

1 The vision2377 of Obadiah.5662 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 concerning Edom;123 We have heard8085 a rumor8052 from4480 854 the LORD,3068 and an ambassador6735 is sent7971 among the heathen,1471 Arise6965 ye, and let us rise up6965 against5921 her in battle.4421

2 Behold,2009 I have made5414 thee small6996 among the heathen:1471 thou859 art greatly3966 despised.959

3 The pride2087 of thine heart3820 hath deceived5377 thee, thou that dwellest7931 in the clefts2288 of the rock,5553 whose habitation7675 is high;4791 that saith559 in his heart,3820 Who4310 shall bring me down3381 to the ground?776

4 Though518 thou exalt1361 thyself as the eagle,5404 and though518 thou set7760 thy nest7064 among996 the stars,3556 thence4480 8033 will I bring thee down,3381 saith5002 the LORD.3068

5 If518 thieves1590 came935 to thee, if518 robbers7703 by night,3915 (how349 art thou cut off!)1820 would they not3808 have stolen1589 till they had enough?1767 if518 the grape gatherers1219 came935 to thee, would they not3808 leave7604 some grapes?5955

6 How349 are the things of Esau6215 searched out!2664 how are his hidden things4710 sought up!1158

7 All3605 the men376 of thy confederacy1285 have brought7971 thee even to5704 the border:1366 the men376 that were at peace7965 with thee have deceived5377 thee, and prevailed3201 against thee; they that eat thy bread3899 have laid7760 a wound4204 under8478 thee: there is none369 understanding8394 in him.

8 Shall I not3808 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 even destroy6 the wise2450 men out of Edom,4480 123 and understanding8394 out of the mount4480 2022 of Esau?6215

9 And thy mighty1368 men, O Teman,8487 shall be dismayed,2865 to the end that4616 every one376 of the mount4480 2022 of Esau6215 may be cut off3772 by slaughter.4480 6993

10 For thy violence4480 2555 against thy brother251 Jacob3290 shame955 shall cover3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut off3772 forever.5769

11 In the day3117 that thou stoodest5975 on the other side,4480 5048 in the day3117 that the strangers2114 carried away captive7617 his forces,2428 and foreigners5237 entered into935 his gates,8179 and cast3032 lots1486 upon5921 Jerusalem,3389 even1571 thou859 wast as one259 of4480 them.

12 But thou shouldest not408 have looked7200 on the day3117 of thy brother251 in the day3117 that he became a stranger;5237 neither408 shouldest thou have rejoiced8055 over the children1121 of Judah3063 in the day3117 of their destruction;6 neither408 shouldest thou have spoken proudly1431 6310 in the day3117 of distress.6869

13 Thou shouldest not408 have entered935 into the gate8179 of my people5971 in the day3117 of their calamity;343 yea,1571 thou859 shouldest not408 have looked7200 on their affliction7451 in the day3117 of their calamity,343 nor408 have laid7971 hands on their substance2428 in the day3117 of their calamity;343

14 Neither408 shouldest thou have stood5975 in5921 the crossway,6563 to cut off3772 853 those of his that did escape;6412 neither408 shouldest thou have delivered up5462 those of his that did remain8300 in the day3117 of distress.6869

15 For3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138 upon5921 all3605 the heathen:1471 as834 thou hast done,6213 it shall be done6213 unto thee: thy reward1576 shall return7725 upon thine own head.7218

16 For3588 as834 ye have drunk8354 upon5921 my holy6944 mountain,2022 so shall all3605 the heathen1471 drink8354 continually,8548 yea, they shall drink,8354 and they shall swallow down,3886 and they shall be1961 as though they had not3808 been.1961

17 But upon mount2022 Zion6726 shall be1961 deliverance,6413 and there shall be1961 holiness;6944 and the house1004 of Jacob3290 shall possess3423 853 their possessions.4180

18 And the house1004 of Jacob3290 shall be1961 a fire,784 and the house1004 of Joseph3130 a flame,3852 and the house1004 of Esau6215 for stubble,7179 and they shall kindle1814 in them, and devour398 them; and there shall not3808 be1961 any remaining8300 of the house1004 of Esau;6215 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.

19 And they of the south5045 shall possess3423 853 the mount2022 of Esau;6215 and they of the plain8219 853 the Philistines:6430 and they shall possess3423 853 the fields7704 of Ephraim,669 and the fields7704 of Samaria:8111 and Benjamin1144 shall possess853 Gilead.1568

20 And the captivity1546 of this2088 host2426 of the children1121 of Israel3478 shall possess that834 of the Canaanites,3669 even unto5704 Zarephath;6886 and the captivity1546 of Jerusalem,3389 which834 is in Sepharad,5614 shall possess3423 853 the cities5892 of the south.5045

21 And saviors3467 shall come up5927 on mount2022 Zion6726 to judge8199 the853 mount2022 of Esau;6215 and the kingdom4410 shall be1961 the LORD's.3068

Obadiah

Chapter 1

1 THE vision of Obadiah: Thus says the LORD God concerning Edom: We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle.

2 Behold, I have made you the least among the nations; you are greatly despised.

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Though you rise high like the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, thence I will bring you down, says the LORD.

5 If thieves come to you or robbers by night, how could you have remained silent till they had stolen enough? Or if grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?

6 How Esau is searched out! how are his hidden things sought out!

7 They have driven you to the border; all the men of your confederacy have deceived you and prevailed against you; the men who were at peace with you and who ate your bread have laid an ambush for you, because Esau has no understanding in him.

8 In that day, says the LORD, I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and the men of understanding out of the mount of Esau.

9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be plundered, so that every man from mount Esau may perish.

10 Because of the slaughter and because of the violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.

11 In the day that you stood against him, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.

12 But you should not have looked for the day of your brother's disaster, in the day when he was afflicted by strangers; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

13 You should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, you should not have rejoiced over their misfortune in the day of their distress; nor should you have terrified his forces in the day of their calamity;

14 Neither should you have stood in the narrow pass to cut off his fugitives; neither should you have delivered up his survivors in the day of distress.

15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all nations; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your rewards shall return upon your own head.

16 For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall be confounded and troubled, and they shall be as though they had not been.

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess those who possessed them.

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them; and there shall be no fugitive remaining to the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.

19 And those of the south shall possess mount Esau; and those of the plain, the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20 The first exiles, that is, of the children of Israel, shall possess the lands from Canaan as far as Zarepath; and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Spain shall possess the cities of the south.

21 And those who are saved shall come up to mount Zion to judge mount Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

1 THE vision of Obadiah: Thus says the LORD God concerning Edom: We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle.

2 Behold,2009 I have made5414 thee small6996 among the heathen:1471 thou859 art greatly3966 despised.959

2 Behold, I have made you the least among the nations; you are greatly despised.

3 The pride2087 of thine heart3820 hath deceived5377 thee, thou that dwellest7931 in the clefts2288 of the rock,5553 whose habitation7675 is high;4791 that saith559 in his heart,3820 Who4310 shall bring me down3381 to the ground?776

3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Though518 thou exalt1361 thyself as the eagle,5404 and though518 thou set7760 thy nest7064 among996 the stars,3556 thence4480 8033 will I bring thee down,3381 saith5002 the LORD.3068

4 Though you rise high like the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, thence I will bring you down, says the LORD.

5 If518 thieves1590 came935 to thee, if518 robbers7703 by night,3915 (how349 art thou cut off!)1820 would they not3808 have stolen1589 till they had enough?1767 if518 the grape gatherers1219 came935 to thee, would they not3808 leave7604 some grapes?5955

5 If thieves come to you or robbers by night, how could you have remained silent till they had stolen enough? Or if grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?

6 How349 are the things of Esau6215 searched out!2664 how are his hidden things4710 sought up!1158

6 How Esau is searched out! how are his hidden things sought out!

7 All3605 the men376 of thy confederacy1285 have brought7971 thee even to5704 the border:1366 the men376 that were at peace7965 with thee have deceived5377 thee, and prevailed3201 against thee; they that eat thy bread3899 have laid7760 a wound4204 under8478 thee: there is none369 understanding8394 in him.

7 They have driven you to the border; all the men of your confederacy have deceived you and prevailed against you; the men who were at peace with you and who ate your bread have laid an ambush for you, because Esau has no understanding in him.

8 Shall I not3808 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 even destroy6 the wise2450 men out of Edom,4480 123 and understanding8394 out of the mount4480 2022 of Esau?6215

8 In that day, says the LORD, I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and the men of understanding out of the mount of Esau.

9 And thy mighty1368 men, O Teman,8487 shall be dismayed,2865 to the end that4616 every one376 of the mount4480 2022 of Esau6215 may be cut off3772 by slaughter.4480 6993

9 And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be plundered, so that every man from mount Esau may perish.

10 For thy violence4480 2555 against thy brother251 Jacob3290 shame955 shall cover3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut off3772 forever.5769

10 Because of the slaughter and because of the violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.

11 In the day3117 that thou stoodest5975 on the other side,4480 5048 in the day3117 that the strangers2114 carried away captive7617 his forces,2428 and foreigners5237 entered into935 his gates,8179 and cast3032 lots1486 upon5921 Jerusalem,3389 even1571 thou859 wast as one259 of4480 them.

12 But you should not have looked for the day of your brother's disaster, in the day when he was afflicted by strangers; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

13 Thou shouldest not408 have entered935 into the gate8179 of my people5971 in the day3117 of their calamity;343 yea,1571 thou859 shouldest not408 have looked7200 on their affliction7451 in the day3117 of their calamity,343 nor408 have laid7971 hands on their substance2428 in the day3117 of their calamity;343

13 You should not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, you should not have rejoiced over their misfortune in the day of their distress; nor should you have terrified his forces in the day of their calamity;

14 Neither408 shouldest thou have stood5975 in5921 the crossway,6563 to cut off3772 853 those of his that did escape;6412 neither408 shouldest thou have delivered up5462 those of his that did remain8300 in the day3117 of distress.6869

14 Neither should you have stood in the narrow pass to cut off his fugitives; neither should you have delivered up his survivors in the day of distress.

15 For3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is near7138 upon5921 all3605 the heathen:1471 as834 thou hast done,6213 it shall be done6213 unto thee: thy reward1576 shall return7725 upon thine own head.7218

15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all nations; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your rewards shall return upon your own head.

16 For3588 as834 ye have drunk8354 upon5921 my holy6944 mountain,2022 so shall all3605 the heathen1471 drink8354 continually,8548 yea, they shall drink,8354 and they shall swallow down,3886 and they shall be1961 as though they had not3808 been.1961

16 For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall be confounded and troubled, and they shall be as though they had not been.

17 But upon mount2022 Zion6726 shall be1961 deliverance,6413 and there shall be1961 holiness;6944 and the house1004 of Jacob3290 shall possess3423 853 their possessions.4180

17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess those who possessed them.

18 And the house1004 of Jacob3290 shall be1961 a fire,784 and the house1004 of Joseph3130 a flame,3852 and the house1004 of Esau6215 for stubble,7179 and they shall kindle1814 in them, and devour398 them; and there shall not3808 be1961 any remaining8300 of the house1004 of Esau;6215 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them; and there shall be no fugitive remaining to the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.

19 And they of the south5045 shall possess3423 853 the mount2022 of Esau;6215 and they of the plain8219 853 the Philistines:6430 and they shall possess3423 853 the fields7704 of Ephraim,669 and the fields7704 of Samaria:8111 and Benjamin1144 shall possess853 Gilead.1568

19 And those of the south shall possess mount Esau; and those of the plain, the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

21 And saviors3467 shall come up5927 on mount2022 Zion6726 to judge8199 the853 mount2022 of Esau;6215 and the kingdom4410 shall be1961 the LORD's.3068

21 And those who are saved shall come up to mount Zion to judge mount Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
