1:1 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!"
1:2 Behold,
I
will
make
you
small
among
the
nations;
you
shall
be
utterly
despised.
1:3 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"
1:4 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.
1:5 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
1:6 How
Esau
has
been
pillaged,
his
treasures
sought
out!
1:7 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.
1:8 Will
I
not
on
that
day,
declares
the
LORD,
destroy
the
wise
men
out
of
Edom,
and
understanding
out
of
Mount
Esau
1:9 And
your
mighty
men
shall
be
dismayed,
O
Teman,
so
that
every
man
from
Mount
Esau
will
be
cut
off
by
slaughter.
1:10 Because
of
the
violence
done
to
your
brother
Jacob,
shame
shall
cover
you,
and
you
shall
be
cut
off
forever.
1:11 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.
1:12 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.
1:13 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.
1:14 Do
not
stand
at
the
crossroads
to
cut
off
his
fugitives;
do
not
hand
over
his
survivors
in
the
day
of
distress.
1:15 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.
1:16 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.
1:17 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.
1:18 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.
1:19 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.
1:20 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.
1:21 Saviors
shall
go
up
to
Mount
Zion
to
rule
Mount
Esau,
and
the
kingdom
shall
be
the
LORD's.
