The vision of Obadi\u2032ah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Thus says the Lord God<\/span> concerning Edom:<\/span>
\nWe have heard tidings from the Lord<\/span>,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and a messenger has been sent among the nations:<\/span><\/span>
\n\u201cRise up! let us rise against her for battle!\u201d<\/span>
\nBehold, I will make you small among the nations,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>you shall be utterly despised.<\/span><\/span>
\nThe pride of your heart has deceived you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>you who live in the clefts of the rock,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>whose dwelling is high,<\/span><\/span>
\nwho say in your heart,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWho will bring me down to the ground?\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\nThough you soar aloft like the eagle,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>though your nest is set among the stars,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>thence I will bring you down,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>says the Lord<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If thieves came to you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>if plunderers by night\u2014<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>how you have been destroyed!\u2014<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>would they not steal only enough for themselves?<\/span><\/span>
\nIf grape gatherers came to you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>would they not leave gleanings?<\/span><\/span>
\nHow Esau has been pillaged,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>his treasures sought out!<\/span><\/span>
\nAll your allies have deceived you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>they have driven you to the border;<\/span><\/span>
\nyour confederates have prevailed against you;<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>your trusted friends have set a trap under you\u2014<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>there is no understanding of it.<\/span><\/span>
\nWill I not on that day, says the Lord<\/span>,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>destroy the wise men out of Edom,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and understanding out of Mount Esau?<\/span><\/span>
\nAnd your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the violence done to your brother Jacob,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>shame shall cover you,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and you shall be cut off for ever.<\/span><\/span>
\nOn the day that you stood aloof,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>on the day that strangers carried off his wealth,<\/span><\/span>
\nand foreigners entered his gates<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and cast lots for Jerusalem,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>you were like one of them.<\/span><\/span>
\nBut you should not have gloated over the day of your brother<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of his misfortune;<\/span><\/span>
\nyou should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of their ruin;<\/span><\/span>
\nyou should not have boasted<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of distress.<\/span><\/span>
\nYou should not have entered the gate of my people<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of his calamity;<\/span><\/span>
\nyou should not have gloated over his disaster<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of his calamity;<\/span><\/span>
\nyou should not have looted his goods<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of his calamity.<\/span><\/span>
\nYou should not have stood at the parting of the ways<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>to cut off his fugitives;<\/span><\/span>
\nyou should not have delivered up his survivors<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in the day of distress.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the day of the Lord<\/span> is near upon all the nations.<\/span>
\nAs you have done, it shall be done to you,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>your deeds shall return on your own head.<\/span><\/span>
\nFor as you have drunk upon my holy mountain,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>all the nations round about shall drink;<\/span><\/span>
\nthey shall drink, and stagger,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and shall be as though they had not been.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But in Mount Zion there shall be those that escape,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and it shall be holy;<\/span><\/span>
\nand the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.<\/span>
\nThe house of Jacob shall be a fire,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and the house of Joseph a flame,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and the house of Esau stubble;<\/span><\/span>
\nthey shall burn them and consume them,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau;<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>for the Lord<\/span> has spoken.<\/span><\/span>
\nThose of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and those of the Shephe\u2032lah the land of the Philistines;<\/span><\/span>
\nthey shall possess the land of E\u2032phraim and the land of Samar\u2032ia<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.<\/span><\/span>

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>shall possess the cities of the Negeb.<\/span><\/span>
\nSaviors shall go up to Mount Zion<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>to rule Mount Esau;<\/span><\/span>
