1

The visionh2377 of Obadiahh5662.

Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 concerning  aEdomh112b--  bWe have heardh8085 a reporth8052 from the LORDh3068, And an  cenvoyh6735a has been senth7971 among the nationsh1471 saying,dAriseh6965 and let us goh6965 againsth5921 her for battleh4421"--

2

"Beholdh2009, I will makeh5414 you  asmallh6996b among the nationsh1471; You are greatlyh3966 despisedh959.

3

"The  aarroganceh2087 of your hearth3820 has deceivedh5378 you, You who liveh7931 in the cleftsh2288 of  1the  brockh5553, In the loftinessh4791 of your dwellingh7931 placeh7675, Who sayh559 in your hearth3820, ` cWhoh4310 will bringh3381 me downh3381 to earthh776?'

4

"Thoughh518 you  abuildh1361b highh1361b like the eagleh5404, Thoughh518 you seth7760 your nesth7064 amongh996 the  bstarsh3556, From thereh8033 I will bringh3381 you downh3381," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

5

"Ifh518  athievesh1590 cameh935 to you, Ifh518  1robbersh7703 by nighth3915-- O howh349 you will be ruinedh1820!-- Would they not stealh1589 only  2until they hadh1767 enoughh1767? Ifh518 grape gatherersh1219 cameh935 to you,  bWould they not leaveh7604 some gleaningsh5955?

6

"O howh349 Esauh6215 will be  aransackedh2664, And his hiddenh4710 treasuresh4710 searchedh1158 out!

7

"Allh3605 the  amenh376  1alliedh1285 with you Will sendh7971 you forth to the borderh1366, And the menh376 at peaceh7965 with you Will deceiveh5378 you and overpowerh3201 you. They who eat your  bbreadh3899 Will seth7760 an ambushh4204 for you. (Thereh369 is  cnoh369 understandingh8394  2in him.)

8

"Will I not on that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, " aDestroyh6 wiseh2450 menh2450 from Edomh112b And understandingh8394 from the mountainh2022 of Esauh6215?

9

"Then your  amightyh1368 menh1368 will be dismayedh2865, O  bTemanh8487, So that everyoneh376 may be  ccuth3772 offh3772 from the mountainh2022 of Esauh6215 by slaughterh6993.

10

"Becauseh4480 of  aviolenceh2555 to your brotherh251 Jacobh3290,  1You will be coveredh3680 with shameh955,  bAnd you will be cuth3772 offh3772 foreverh5769.

11

"On the dayh3117 that you  astoodh5975 aloofh4480h5048, On the dayh3117 that strangersh2114a carriedh7617 offh7617 his wealthh2428, And foreignersh5237 enteredh935 his gateh8179 And  bcasth3032 lotsh1486 for Jerusalemh3389--  cYou tooh1571 were as oneh259 of them.

12

aDo not  1gloath7200 over your brother'sh251 dayh3117, The dayh3117 of his misfortuneh5235b. And  bdo not rejoiceh8055 over the sonsh1121 of Judahh3063 In the dayh3117 of their destructionh6; Yes,  cdo not  2boasth1431h6310 In the dayh3117 of their distressh6869a.

13

"Do not enterh935 the gateh8179 of My peopleh5971a In the  adayh3117 of their disasterh343. Yesh1571, you, do not  1gloath7200 over their calamityh7463a In the dayh3117 of their disasterh343. And do not  blooth7971 their wealthh2428 In the dayh3117 of their disasterh343.

14

"Do not  astandh5975 at the forkh6563 of the roadh6563 To cuth3772 downh3772 their fugitivesh6412a; And do not imprisonh5462 their survivorsh8300 In the dayh3117 of their distressh6869a.

The Day of the LORD and the Future

15

"For the  adayh3117 of the LORDh3068 drawsh7138 nearh7138 on allh3605 the nationsh1471.  bAs you have doneh6213a, it will be doneh6213a to you. Your  cdealingsh1576 will returnh7725 on your own headh7218.

16

"Becauseh3588 justh3512c as you  adrankh8354 on  bMy holyh6944 mountainh2022, Allh3605 the nationsh1471  cwill drinkh8354 continuallyh8548. They will drinkh8354 and  1swallowh3886a And becomeh1961 as if they had neverh3808 existedh1961.

17

"But on Mounth2022  aZionh6726 there will be those whoh6413 escapeh6413, And it will be holyh6944. And the househ1004 of Jacobh3290 will  bpossessh3423 their possessionsh4180.

18

"Then the househ1004 of Jacobh3290 will be a  afireh784 And the househ1004 of Josephh3130 a flameh3852; But the househ1004 of Esauh6215 will be as stubbleh7179. And they will seth1814  1them on fireh1814 and consumeh398  1them, So that there will be  bnoh3808 survivorh8300 of the househ1004 of Esauh6215," For the LORDh3068 has spokenh1696.

19

Then those of the  1Negevh5045 will  apossessh3423 the mountainh2022 of Esauh6215, And those of the  2Shephelahh8219 the  bPhilistineh6430 plain; Also,  cpossessh3423 the territoryh7704 of Ephraimh669 and the territoryh7704 of Samariah8111, And Benjaminh1144 will possess Gileadh1568.

20

And the exilesh1546 of thish2088 hosth2426 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, Whoh834 are among the Canaanitesh3669a as farh5704 as  aZarephathh6886, And the exilesh1546 of Jerusalemh3389 whoh834 are in Sepharadh5614 Will possessh3423 the  bcitiesh5892b of the Negevh5045.

21

The  adeliverersh3467 will ascendh5927 Mounth2022 Zionh6726 To judgeh8199 the mountainh2022 of Esauh6215, And the  bkingdomh4410 will be the LORD'Sh3068.
