: Obadiah 1
: 1 . The vision <2377 chazown > of Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > .
Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > concerning Edom <0123 >Edom > ; We have
heard <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > from the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , and an ambassador <6735 tsiyr > is sent <7971
shalach > among the heathen <1471 gowy > , Arise <6965 quwm >
ye , and let us rise <6965 quwm > up against <5921 <al > her in
battle <4421 milchamah > .
: 2 Behold <2009 hinneh > , I have made <5414 nathan > thee
small <6996 qatan > among the heathen <1471 gowy > : thou art
greatly <3966 m@<od > despised <0959 bazah > .
: 3 The pride <2087 zadown > of thine heart <3820 leb > hath
deceived <5377 nasha> > thee , thou that dwellest <7931 shakan
> in the clefts <2288 chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< > ,
whose habitation <3427 yashab > [ is ] high <4791 marowm > ;
that saith <0559 >amar > in his heart <3820 leb > , Who <4310
miy > shall bring <3381 yarad > me down <3381 yarad > to the
ground <0776 >erets > ?
: 4 Though <0518 >im > thou exalt <1361 gabahh > [ thyself ]
as the eagle <5404nesher > , and though <0518 >im > thou set
<7760 suwm > thy nest <7064 qen > among <0996 beyn > the stars
<3556 kowkab > , thence <8033 sham > will I bring <3381 yarad >
thee down <3381 yarad > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > .
: 5 If <0518 >im > thieves <1590 gannab > came <0935 bow> > to
thee , if <0518 >im > robbers <7703 shadad > by night <3915
layil > , ( how art thou cut <1820 damah > off ! ) would
they not have stolen <1589 ganab > till they had enough <1767
day > ? if <0518 >im > the grapegatherers <1219 batsar > came
<0935 bow> > to thee , would <14> they not leave <7604 sha>ar >
[ some ] grapes ?
: 6 How <0349 >eyk > are [ the things ] of Esau <6215 <Esav >
searched <2664 chaphas > out ! [ how ] are his hidden <4710
mitspun > things sought <1156 b@<a> > up !
: 7 All <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of thy confederacy
<1285 b@riyth > have brought <7971 shalach > thee [ even ] to
the border <1366 g@buwl > : the men <0582 >enowsh > that were at
peace <7965 shalowm > with thee have deceived <5377 nasha> >
thee , [ and ] prevailed <3201 yakol > against thee ; [
they that eat ] thy bread <3899 lechem > have laid <7760 suwm >
a wound <4204 mazowr > under <8478 tachath > thee : [ there is
] none <0369 >ayin > understanding <8394 tabuwn > in him .
: 8 Shall I not in that day <3117 yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , even destroy <6> the wise <2450
chakam > [ men ] out of Edom <0123 >Edom > , and
understanding <8394 tabuwn > out of the mount <2022 har > of
Esau <6215 <Esav > ?
: 9 And thy mighty <1368 gibbowr > [ men ] , O Teman <8487
Teyman > , shall be dismayed <2865 chathath > , to the end
<4616 ma<an > that every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of the
mount <2022 har > of Esau <6215 <Esav > may be cut <3772 karath
> off by slaughter <6993 qetel > .
: 10 . For [ thy ] violence <2555 chamac > against thy
brother <0251 >ach > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shame <0955 buwshah >
shall cover <3680 kacah > thee , and thou shalt be cut <3772
karath > off for ever <5769 <owlam > .
: 11 In the day <3117 yowm > that thou stoodest <5975 <amad >
on the other <5048 neged > side <5048 neged > , in the day
<3117 yowm > that the strangers <2114 zuwr > carried <7617
shabah > away captive <7617 shabah > his forces <2428 chayil > ,
and foreigners <5237 nokriy > entered <0935 bow> > into his
gates <8179 sha<ar > , and cast <3032 yadad > lots <1486 gowral
> upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , even <1571 gam > thou
[ wast ] as one <0259 >echad > of them .
: 12 But thou shouldest not have looked <7200 ra>ah > on the
day <3117 yowm > of thy brother <0251 >ach > in the day <3117
yowm > that he became <5235 neker > a stranger <5235 neker > ;
neither <0408 >al > shouldest thou have rejoiced <8055 samach >
over the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the
day <3117 yowm > of their destruction <6> ; neither <0408 >al >
shouldest thou have spoken <6310 peh > proudly <1431 gadal > in
the day <3117 yowm > of distress <6869 tsarah > .
: 13 Thou shouldest not have entered <0935 bow> > into the gate
<8179 sha<ar > of my people <5971 <am > in the day <3117 yowm >
of their calamity <0343 >eyd > ; yea <1571 gam > , thou
shouldest not have looked <7200 ra>ah > on their affliction
<7451 ra< > in the day <3117 yowm > of their calamity <0343 >eyd
> , nor <0408 >al > have laid <7971 shalach > [ hands ] on
their substance <2428 chayil > in the day <3117 yowm > of their
calamity <0343 >eyd > ;
: 14 Neither <0408 >al > shouldest thou have stood <5975 <amad
> in the crossway <6563 pereq > , to cut <3772 karath > off
those of his that did escape <6412 paliyt > ; neither <0408 >al
> shouldest thou have delivered <5462 cagar > up those of his
that did remain <8300 sariyd > in the day <3117 yowm > of
distress <6869 tsarah > .
: 15 For the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is
] near <7138 qarowb > upon all <3605 kol > the heathen <1471
gowy > : as thou hast done <6213 <asah > , it shall be done
<6213 <asah > unto thee : thy reward <1576 g@muwl > shall return
<7725 shuwb > upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > .
: 16 For as ye have drunk <8354 shathah > upon my holy <6944
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > , [ so ] shall all <3605 kol >
the heathen <1471 gowy > drink <8354 shathah > continually <8548
tamiyd > , yea , they shall drink <8354 shathah > , and they
shall swallow <3886 luwa< > down , and they shall be as though
they had not been <1961 hayah > .
: 17 . But upon mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall
be deliverance <6413 p@leytah > , and there shall be holiness
<6944 qodesh > ; and the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290
Ya<aqob > shall possess <3423 yarash > their possessions <4180
mowrash > .
: 18 And the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >
shall be a fire <0784 >esh > , and the house <1004 bayith > of
Joseph <3130 Yowceph > a flame <3852 lehabah > , and the house
<1004 bayith > of Esau <6215 <Esav > for stubble <7179 qash > ,
and they shall kindle <1814 dalaq > in them , and devour <0398
>akal > them ; and there shall not be [ any ] remaining <8300
sariyd > of the house <1004 bayith > of Esau <6215 <Esav > ;
for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > [ it ] .
: 19 And [ they of ] the south <5045 negeb > shall possess
<3423 yarash > the mount <2022 har > of Esau <6215 <Esav > ;
and [ they of ] the plain <8219 sh@phelah > the Philistines
<6430 P@lishtiy > : and they shall possess <3423 yarash > the
fields <7704 sadeh > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > , and the
fields <7704 sadeh > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : and Benjamin
<1144 Binyamiyn > [ shall possess ] Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > .
: 20 And the captivity <1546 galuwth > of this <2088 zeh > host
<2426 cheyl > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > [ shall possess ] that of the Canaanites <3669
K@na<aniy > , [ even ] unto Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > ;
and the captivity <1546 galuwth > of Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > , which <0834 >aher > [ is ] in Sepharad <5614
C@pharad > , shall possess <0423 >alah > the cities <5892 <iyr
