Obadiah 1 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: "Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!"
2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?"
4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the LORD.
5 If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night- how you have been destroyed!- would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?
6 How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out!
7 All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you- you have no understanding.
8 Will I not on that day, declares the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
9 And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.
11 On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
12 But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.
14 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.
17 But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken.
19 Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
21 Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
1 The vision H2377 of Obadiah H5662 .

2 Behold H2009 IJEC , I have made H5414 thee small H6996 AMS among the heathen H1471 : thou H859 PPRO-2MS art greatly H3966 ADV despised H959 .
3 The pride H2087 of thine heart H3820 CMS-2MS hath deceived H5377 thee , thou that dwellest H7931 in the clefts H2288 of the rock H5553 , whose habitation H7675 is high H4791 ; that saith H559 in his heart H3820 , Who H4310 IPRO shall bring me down H3381 to the ground H776 GFS ?
4 Though H518 PART thou exalt H1361 thyself as the eagle H5404 , and though H518 PART thou set H7760 VQFC thy nest H7064 among H996 PREP the stars H3556 , thence H8033 M-ADV will I bring thee down H3381 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
5 If H518 PART thieves H1590 came H935 to thee , if H518 PART robbers H7703 by night H3915 GMS , ( how H349 art thou cut off H1820 ! ) would they not H3808 D-NPAR have stolen H1589 till they had enough H1767 ? if H518 PART the grape gatherers H1219 came H935 VQQ3MP to thee , would they not H3808 D-NPAR leave H7604 some grapes H5955 ?
6 How H349 are the things of Esau H6215 searched out H2664 ! how are his hidden things H4710 sought up H1158 !
7 All H3605 NMS the men H376 of thy confederacy H1285 CFS-2MS have brought H7971 thee even to H5704 the border H1366 : the men H376 that were at peace H7965 with thee have deceived H5377 thee , and prevailed H3201 against thee ; they that eat thy bread H3899 have laid H7760 VQY3MP a wound H4204 under H8478 thee : there is none H369 NPAR understanding H8394 NFS in him .
8 Shall I not H3808 D-NPAR in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , even destroy H6 the wise H2450 AMP men out of Edom H123 , and understanding H8394 out of the mount H2022 of Esau H6215 ?
9 And thy mighty H1368 men , O Teman H8487 , shall be dismayed H2865 , to the end that H4616 L-CONJ every one H376 NMS of the mount H2022 of Esau H6215 may be cut off H3772 by slaughter H6993 .
10 For thy violence H2555 against thy brother H251 CMS-2MS Jacob H3290 shame H955 shall cover H3680 thee , and thou shalt be cut off H3772 forever H5769 .
11 In the day H3117 B-NMS that thou stoodest H5975 on the other side H5048 M-PREP , in the day H3117 B-NMS that the strangers H2114 carried away captive H7617 his forces H2428 CMS-3MS , and foreigners H5237 entered into H935 VQQ3MP his gates H8179 , and cast H3032 lots H1486 upon H5921 W-PREP Jerusalem H3389 , even H1571 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS wast as one H259 K-NMS of H4480 them .

13 Thou shouldest not H408 NPAR have entered H935 VQY2MS into the gate H8179 of my people H5971 in the day H3117 B-NMS of their calamity H343 NMS-3MP ; yea H1571 CONJ , thou H859 PPRO-2MS shouldest not H408 NPAR have looked H7200 on their affliction H7451 in the day H3117 B-NMS of their calamity H343 NMS-3MP , nor H408 ADV have laid H7971 hands on their substance H2428 in the day H3117 B-NMS of their calamity H343 NMS-3MP ;
14 Neither H408 W-NPAR shouldest thou have stood H5975 in H5921 PREP the crossway H6563 , to cut off H3772 those of his that did escape H6412 ; neither H408 W-NPAR shouldest thou have delivered up H5462 those of his that did remain H8300 in the day H3117 B-NMS of distress H6869 NFS .
