Oba 01:01 ¶ The vision <02377> of Obadiah <05662>. Thus saith 
<0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> concerning Edom <0123>;
 We have heard <08085> (8804) a rumour <08052> from the LORD 
<03068>, and an ambassador <06735> is sent <07971> (8795) among 
the heathen <01471>, Arise <06965> (8798) ye, and let us rise up 
<06965> (8799) against her in battle <04421>.

Oba 01:02  Behold, I have made <05414> (8804) thee small <06996> 
among the heathen <01471>: thou art greatly <03966> despised 
<0959> (8803).

Oba 01:03  The pride <02087> of thine heart <03820> hath 
deceived <05377> (8689) thee, thou that dwellest <07931> (8802) 
in the clefts <02288> of the rock <05553>, whose habitation 
<03427> (8800) is high <04791>; that saith <0559> (8802) in his 
heart <03820>, Who shall bring me down <03381> (8686) to the 
ground <0776>?

Oba 01:04  Though thou exalt <01361> (8686) thyself as the eagle 
<05404>, and though thou set <07760> (8800) thy nest <07064> 
among the stars <03556>, thence will I bring thee down <03381> 
(8686), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.

Oba 01:05  If thieves <01590> came <0935> (8804) to thee, if 
robbers <07703> (8802) by night <03915>, (how art thou cut off 
<01820> (8738)!) would they not have stolen <01589> (8799) till 
they had enough <01767>? if the grapegatherers <01219> (8802) 
came <0935> (8804) to thee, would they not leave <07604> (8686) 
some grapes <05955>?

Oba 01:06  How are the things of Esau <06215> searched out 
<02664> (8738)! how are his hidden <04710> things sought up 
<01158> (8738)!

Oba 01:07  All the men <0582> of thy confederacy <01285> have 
brought <07971> (8765) thee even to the border <01366>: the men 
<0582> that were at peace <07965> with thee have deceived 
<05377> (8689) thee, and prevailed <03201> (8804) against thee; 
they that eat thy bread <03899> have laid <07760> (8799) a wound 
<04204> under thee: there is none understanding <08394> in him.

Oba 01:08  Shall I not in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) 
the LORD <03068>, even destroy <06> (8689) the wise <02450> men 
out of Edom <0123>, and understanding <08394> out of the mount 
<02022> of Esau <06215>?

Oba 01:09  And thy mighty <01368> men, O Teman <08487>, shall be 
dismayed <02865> (8804), to the end that every one <0376> of the 
mount <02022> of Esau <06215> may be cut off <03772> (8735) by 
slaughter <06993>.

Oba 01:10 ¶ For thy violence <02555> against thy brother <0251> 
Jacob <03290> shame <0955> shall cover <03680> (8762) thee, and 
thou shalt be cut off <03772> (8738) for ever <05769>.

Oba 01:11  In the day <03117> that thou stoodest <05975> (8800) 
on the other side, in the day <03117> that the strangers <02114> 
(8801) carried away captive <07617> (8800) his forces <02428>, 
and foreigners <05237> entered <0935> (8804) into his gates 
<08179>, and cast <03032> (8804) lots <01486> upon Jerusalem 
<03389>, even thou wast as one <0259> of them.

Oba 01:12  But thou shouldest not have looked <07200> (8799) on 
the day <03117> of thy brother <0251> in the day <03117> that he 
became a stranger <05235>; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced 
<08055> (8799) over the children <01121> of Judah <03063> in the 
day <03117> of their destruction <06> (8800); neither shouldest 
thou have spoken <06310> proudly <01431> (8686) in the day 
<03117> of distress <06869>.

Oba 01:13  Thou shouldest not have entered <0935> (8799) into 
the gate <08179> of my people <05971> in the day <03117> of 
their calamity <0343>; yea, thou shouldest not have looked 
<07200> (8799) on their affliction <07451> in the day <03117> of 
their calamity <0343>, nor have laid <07971> (8799) hands on 
their substance <02428> in the day <03117> of their calamity 
<0343>;

Oba 01:14  Neither shouldest thou have stood <05975> (8799) in 
the crossway <06563>, to cut off <03772> (8687) those of his 
that did escape <06412>; neither shouldest thou have delivered 
up <05462> (8686) those of his that did remain <08300> in the 
day <03117> of distress <06869>.

Oba 01:15  For the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> is near 
<07138> upon all the heathen <01471>: as thou hast done <06213> 
(8804), it shall be done <06213> (8735) unto thee: thy reward 
<01576> shall return <07725> (8799) upon thine own head <07218>.

Oba 01:16  For as ye have drunk <08354> (8804) upon my holy 
<06944> mountain <02022>, so shall all the heathen <01471> drink 
<08354> (8799) continually <08548>, yea, they shall drink 
<08354> (8804), and they shall swallow down <03886> (8804), and 
they shall be as though they had not <03808> been.

Oba 01:17 ¶ But upon mount <02022> Zion <06726> shall be 
deliverance <06413>, and there shall be holiness <06944>; and 
the house <01004> of Jacob <03290> shall possess <03423> (8804) 
their possessions <04180>.

Oba 01:18  And the house <01004> of Jacob <03290> shall be a 
fire <0784>, and the house <01004> of Joseph <03130> a flame 
<03852>, and the house <01004> of Esau <06215> for stubble 
<07179>, and they shall kindle <01814> (8804) in them, and 
devour <0398> (8804) them; and there shall not be any remaining 
<08300> of the house <01004> of Esau <06215>; for the LORD 
<03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it.

Oba 01:19  And they of the south <05045> shall possess <03423> 
(8804) the mount <02022> of Esau <06215>; and they of the plain 
<08219> the Philistines <06430>: and they shall possess <03423> 
(8804) the fields <07704> of Ephraim <0669>, and the fields 
<07704> of Samaria <08111>: and Benjamin <01144> shall possess 
Gilead <01568>.

Oba 01:20  And the captivity <01546> of this host <02426> of the 
children <01121> of Israel <03478> shall possess that of the 
Canaanites <03669>, even unto Zarephath <06886>; and the 
captivity <01546> of Jerusalem <03389>, which is in Sepharad 
<05614>, shall possess <03423> (8799) the cities <05892> of the 
south <05045>.

Oba 01:21  And saviours <03467> (8688) shall come up <05927> 
(8804) on mount <02022> Zion <06726> to judge <08199> (8800) the 
mount <02022> of Esau <06215>; and the kingdom <04410> shall be 
the LORD’S <03068>.
