Obadiah 1 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard tidings 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, whose dwelling is high, 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, thence I will bring you down, says the LORD.
5 If thieves came to you, if plunderers 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 deceived you, they have driven you to the border; your confederates have prevailed against you; your trusted friends have set a trap under you -- there is no understanding of it.
8 Will I not on that day, says 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 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
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 you should not have gloated over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; you should not have boasted in the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of my people in the day of his calamity; you should not have gloated over his disaster in the day of his calamity; you should not have looted his goods in the day of his calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the parting of the ways to cut off his fugitives; you should not have delivered up 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 upon my holy mountain, all the nations round about shall drink; they shall drink, and stagger, and shall be as though they had not been.
17 But in Mount Zion there shall be those that 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 to the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken.
19 Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah 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 in Halah who are of the people of Israel shall possess Phoenicia 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 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 concerning Edom; H123 We have heard H8085 a rumor H8052 from H4480 H854 the LORD, H3068 and an ambassador H6735 is sent H7971 among the heathen, H1471 Arise H6965 ye , and let us rise up H6965 against H5921 her in battle. H4421
2 Behold H2009 , I have made H5414 thee small H6996 among the heathen: H1471 thou H859 art greatly H3966 despised. H959
3 The pride H2087 of thine heart H3820 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 shall bring me down H3381 to the ground H776 ?
4 Though H518 thou exalt H1361 thyself as the eagle, H5404 and though H518 thou set H7760 thy nest H7064 among H996 the stars, H3556 thence H4480 H8033 will I bring thee down, H3381 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
5 If H518 thieves H1590 came H935 to thee, if H518 robbers H7703 by night, H3915 ( how H349 art thou cut off H1820 !) would they not H3808 have stolen H1589 till they had enough H1767 ? if H518 the grape gatherers H1219 came H935 to thee , would they not H3808 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 the men H376 of thy confederacy H1285 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 a wound H4204 under H8478 thee: there is none H369 understanding H8394 in him.
8 Shall I not H3808 in that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 even destroy H6 the wise H2450 men out of Edom H4480 H123 , and understanding H8394 out of the mount H4480 H2022 of Esau H6215 ?
9 And thy mighty H1368 men , O Teman, H8487 shall be dismayed, H2865 to the end that H4616 every one H376 of the mount H4480 H2022 of Esau H6215 may be cut off H3772 by slaughter H4480 H6993 .
10 For thy violence H4480 H2555 against thy brother H251 Jacob H3290 shame H955 shall cover H3680 thee , and thou shalt be cut off H3772 forever. H5769
11 In the day H3117 that thou stoodest H5975 on the other side H4480 H5048 , in the day H3117 that the strangers H2114 carried away captive H7617 his forces, H2428 and foreigners H5237 entered into H935 his gates, H8179 and cast H3032 lots H1486 upon H5921 Jerusalem, H3389 even H1571 thou H859 wast as one H259 of H4480 them.
12 But thou shouldest not H408 have looked H7200 on the day H3117 of thy brother H251 in the day H3117 that he became a stranger; H5237 neither H408 shouldest thou have rejoiced H8055 over the children H1121 of Judah H3063 in the day H3117 of their destruction; H6 neither H408 shouldest thou have spoken proudly H1431 H6310 in the day H3117 of distress. H6869
13 Thou shouldest not H408 have entered H935 into the gate H8179 of my people H5971 in the day H3117 of their calamity; H343 yea, H1571 thou H859 shouldest not H408 have looked H7200 on their affliction H7451 in the day H3117 of their calamity, H343 nor H408 have laid H7971 hands on their substance H2428 in the day H3117 of their calamity; H343
14 Neither H408 shouldest thou have stood H5975 in H5921 the crossway, H6563 to cut off H3772 H853 those of his that did escape; H6412 neither H408 shouldest thou have delivered up H5462 those of his that did remain H8300 in the day H3117 of distress. H6869
15 For H3588 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is near H7138 upon H5921 all H3605 the heathen: H1471 as H834 thou hast done, H6213 it shall be done H6213 unto thee : thy reward H1576 shall return H7725 upon thine own head. H7218
16 For H3588 as H834 ye have drunk H8354 upon H5921 my holy H6944 mountain, H2022 so shall all H3605 the heathen H1471 drink H8354 continually, H8548 yea , they shall drink, H8354 and they shall swallow down, H3886 and they shall be H1961 as though they had not H3808 been. H1961
17 But upon mount H2022 Zion H6726 shall be H1961 deliverance, H6413 and there shall be H1961 holiness; H6944 and the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 shall possess H3423 H853 their possessions. H4180
18 And the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 shall be H1961 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 kindle H1814 in them , and devour H398 them ; and there shall not H3808 be H1961 any remaining H8300 of the house H1004 of Esau; H6215 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 it .
19 And they of the south H5045 shall possess H3423 H853 the mount H2022 of Esau; H6215 and they of the plain H8219 H853 the Philistines: H6430 and they shall possess H3423 H853 the fields H7704 of Ephraim, H669 and the fields H7704 of Samaria: H8111 and Benjamin H1144 shall possess H853 Gilead. H1568
20 And the captivity H1546 of this H2088 host H2426 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall possess that H834 of the Canaanites, H3669 even unto H5704 Zarephath; H6886 and the captivity H1546 of Jerusalem, H3389 which H834 is in Sepharad, H5614 shall possess H3423 H853 the cities H5892 of the south. H5045
21 And saviors H3467 shall come up H5927 on mount H2022 Zion H6726 to judge H8199 the H853 mount H2022 of Esau; H6215 and the kingdom H4410 shall be H1961 the LORD's H3068.
