Obadiah 1

1 The destruction of Edom, 3 for their pride, 10 and for their wrong unto Jacob. 17 The salvation and victory of Jacob.

 1:1 The vision 2377 of Obadiah 5662. Thus 3541 says 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3068 concerning Edom 112b— We have heard 8085 a report 8052 from the LORD 3068, And an envoy 6735a has been sent 7971 among the nations 1471 [saying], “Arise 6965 and let us go 6965 against 5921 her for battle 4421”—

 1:2 “Behold 2009, I will make 5414 you small 6996b among the nations 1471; You are greatly 3966 despised 959.

 1:3 “The arrogance 2087 of your heart 3820 has deceived 5378 you, You who live 7931 in the clefts 2288 of the rock 5553, In the loftiness 4791 of your dwelling 7931 place 7675, Who say 559 in your heart 3820, ‘Who 4310 will bring 3381 me down 3381 to earth 776?’

 1:4 “Though 518 you build 1361b high 1361b like the eagle 5404, Though 518 you set 7760 your nest 7064 among 996 the stars 3556, From there 8033 I will bring 3381 you down 3381,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068.

 1:5 “If 518 thieves 1590 came 935 to you, If 518 robbers 7703 by night 3915— O how 349 you will be ruined 1820!— Would they not steal 1589 [only] until they had 1767 enough 1767? If 518 grape gatherers 1219 came 935 to you, Would they not leave 7604 [some] gleanings 5955?

 1:6 “O how 349 Esau 6215 will be ransacked 2664, [And] his hidden 4710 treasures 4710 searched 1158 out!

 1:7 “All 3605 the men 376 allied 1285 with you Will send 7971 you forth to the border 1366, And the men 376 at peace 7965 with you Will deceive 5378 you and overpower 3201 you. [They who eat] your bread 3899 Will set 7760 an ambush 4204 for you. (There 369 is no 369 understanding 8394 in him.)

 1:8 “Will I not on that day 3117,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068, “Destroy 6 wise 2450 men 2450 from Edom 112b And understanding 8394 from the mountain 2022 of Esau 6215?

 1:9 “Then your mighty 1368 men 1368 will be dismayed 2865, O Teman 8487, So that everyone 376 may be cut 3772 off 3772 from the mountain 2022 of Esau 6215 by slaughter 6993.

 1:10 ¶ “Because 4480 of violence 2555 to your brother 251 Jacob 3290, You will be covered 3680 [with] shame 955, And you will be cut 3772 off 3772 forever 5769.

 1:11 “On the day 3117 that you stood 5975 aloof 4480 5048, On the day 3117 that strangers 2114a carried 7617 off 7617 his wealth 2428, And foreigners 5237 entered 935 his gate 8179 And cast 3032 lots 1486 for Jerusalem 3389— You too 1571 were as one 259 of them.

 1:12 “Do not gloat 7200 over your brother’s 251 day 3117, The day 3117 of his misfortune 5235b. And do not rejoice 8055 over the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 In the day 3117 of their destruction 6; Yes, do not boast 1431 6310 In the day 3117 of [their] distress 6869a.

 1:13 “Do not enter 935 the gate 8179 of My people 5971a In the day 3117 of their disaster 343. Yes 1571, you, do not gloat 7200 over their calamity 7463a In the day 3117 of their disaster 343. And do not loot 7971 their wealth 2428 In the day 3117 of their disaster 343.

 1:14 “Do not stand 5975 at the fork 6563 of the road 6563 To cut 3772 down 3772 their fugitives 6412a; And do not imprison 5462 their survivors 8300 In the day 3117 of their distress 6869a.

 1:15 ¶ “For the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 draws 7138 near 7138 on all 3605 the nations 1471. As you have done 6213a, it will be done 6213a to you. Your dealings 1576 will return 7725 on your own head 7218.

 1:16 “Because 3588 just 3512c as you drank 8354 on My holy 6944 mountain 2022, All 3605 the nations 1471 will drink 8354 continually 8548. They will drink 8354 and swallow 3886a And become 1961 as if they had never 3808 existed 1961.

 1:17 “But on Mount 2022 Zion 6726 there will be those who 6413 escape 6413, And it will be holy 6944. And the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 will possess 3423 their possessions 4180.

 1:18 “Then the house 1004 of Jacob 3290 will be a fire 784 And the house 1004 of Joseph 3130 a flame 3852; But the house 1004 of Esau 6215 [will be] as stubble 7179. And they will set 1814 them on fire 1814 and consume 398 them, So that there will be no 3808 survivor 8300 of the house 1004 of Esau 6215,” For the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696.

 1:19 Then [those of] the Negev 5045 will possess 3423 the mountain 2022 of Esau 6215, And [those of] the Shephelah 8219 the Philistine 6430 [plain]; Also, possess 3423 the territory 7704 of Ephraim 669 and the territory 7704 of Samaria 8111, And Benjamin 1144 [will possess] Gilead 1568.

 1:20 And the exiles 1546 of this 2088 host 2426 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, Who 834 are [among] the Canaanites 3669a as far 5704 as Zarephath 6886, And the exiles 1546 of Jerusalem 3389 who 834 are in Sepharad 5614 Will possess 3423 the cities 5892b of the Negev 5045.

 1:21 The deliverers 3467 will ascend 5927 Mount 2022 Zion 6726 To judge 8199 the mountain 2022 of Esau 6215, And the kingdom 4410 will be the LORD’S 3068.
