Dual Panel1The vision <02377> of Obadiah <05662>_. Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> concerning Edom <0123>_; We have heard <08085> (8804) a rumour <08052> from the LORD <03068>_, and an ambassador <06735> is sent <07971> (8795) among the heathen <01471>_, Arise <06965> (8798) ye, and let us rise up <06965> (8799) against her in battle <04421>_.
2Behold, I have made <05414> (8804) thee small <06996> among the heathen <01471>_: thou art greatly <03966> despised <0959> (8803)_.
3The pride <02087> of thine heart <03820> hath deceived <05377> (8689) thee, thou that dwellest <07931> (8802) in the clefts <02288> of the rock <05553>_, whose habitation <03427> (8800) [is] high <04791>_; that saith <0559> (8802) in his heart <03820>_, Who shall bring me down <03381> (8686) to the ground <0776>_?
4Though thou exalt <01361> (8686) [thyself] as the eagle <05404>_, and though thou set <07760> (8800) thy nest <07064> among the stars <03556>_, thence will I bring thee down <03381> (8686)_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_.
5If thieves <01590> came <0935> (8804) to thee, if robbers <07703> (8802) by night <03915>_, (how art thou cut off <01820> (8738)!) would they not have stolen <01589> (8799) till they had enough <01767>_? if the grapegatherers <01219> (8802) came <0935> (8804) to thee, would they not leave <07604> (8686) [some] grapes <05955>_? {some...: or, gleanings?}
6How are [the things] of Esau <06215> searched out <02664> (8738)_! [how] are his hidden <04710> things sought up <01158> (8738)_!
7All the men <0582> of thy confederacy <01285> have brought <07971> (8765) thee [even] to the border <01366>_: the men <0582> that were at peace <07965> with thee have deceived <05377> (8689) thee, [and] prevailed <03201> (8804) against thee; [they that eat] thy bread <03899> have laid <07760> (8799) a wound <04204> under thee: [there is] none understanding <08394> in him. {that were...: Heb. of thy peace} {they...: Heb. the men of thy bread} {in him: or, of it}
8Shall I not in that day <03117>_, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_, even destroy <06> (8689) the wise <02450> [men] out of Edom <0123>_, and understanding <08394> out of the mount <02022> of Esau <06215>_?
9And thy mighty <01368> [men], O Teman <08487>_, shall be dismayed <02865> (8804)_, to the end that every one <0376> of the mount <02022> of Esau <06215> may be cut off <03772> (8735) by slaughter <06993>_.
10For [thy] violence <02555> against thy brother <0251> Jacob <03290> shame <0955> shall cover <03680> (8762) thee, and thou shalt be cut off <03772> (8738) for ever <05769>_.
11In the day <03117> that thou stoodest <05975> (8800) on the other side, in the day <03117> that the strangers <02114> (8801) carried away captive <07617> (8800) his forces <02428>_, and foreigners <05237> entered <0935> (8804) into his gates <08179>_, and cast <03032> (8804) lots <01486> upon Jerusalem <03389>_, even thou [wast] as one <0259> of them. {captive...: or, his substance}
12But thou shouldest not have looked <07200> (8799) on the day <03117> of thy brother <0251> in the day <03117> that he became a stranger <05235>_; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced <08055> (8799) over the children <01121> of Judah <03063> in the day <03117> of their destruction <06> (8800)_; neither shouldest thou have spoken <06310> proudly <01431> (8686) in the day <03117> of distress <06869>_. {spoken...: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
13Thou shouldest not have entered <0935> (8799) into the gate <08179> of my people <05971> in the day <03117> of their calamity <0343>_; yea, thou shouldest not have looked <07200> (8799) on their affliction <07451> in the day <03117> of their calamity <0343>_, nor have laid <07971> (8799) [hands] on their substance <02428> in the day <03117> of their calamity <0343>_; {substance: or, forces}
14Neither shouldest thou have stood <05975> (8799) in the crossway <06563>_, to cut off <03772> (8687) those of his that did escape <06412>_; neither shouldest thou have delivered up <05462> (8686) those of his that did remain <08300> in the day <03117> of distress <06869>_. {delivered up: or, shut up}
15For the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> [is] near <07138> upon all the heathen <01471>_: as thou hast done <06213> (8804)_, it shall be done <06213> (8735) unto thee: thy reward <01576> shall return <07725> (8799) upon thine own head <07218>_.
16For as ye have drunk <08354> (8804) upon my holy <06944> mountain <02022>_, [so] shall all the heathen <01471> drink <08354> (8799) continually <08548>_, yea, they shall drink <08354> (8804)_, and they shall swallow down <03886> (8804)_, and they shall be as though they had not <03808> been. {swallow...: or, sup up}
17But upon mount <02022> Zion <06726> shall be deliverance <06413>_, and there shall be holiness <06944>_; and the house <01004> of Jacob <03290> shall possess <03423> (8804) their possessions <04180>_. {deliverance: or, they that escape} {there...: or, it shall be holy}
18And the house <01004> of Jacob <03290> shall be a fire <0784>_, and the house <01004> of Joseph <03130> a flame <03852>_, and the house <01004> of Esau <06215> for stubble <07179>_, and they shall kindle <01814> (8804) in them, and devour <0398> (8804) them; and there shall not be [any] remaining <08300> of the house <01004> of Esau <06215>_; for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) [it].
19And [they of] the south <05045> shall possess <03423> (8804) the mount <02022> of Esau <06215>_; and [they of] the plain <08219> the Philistines <06430>_: and they shall possess <03423> (8804) the fields <07704> of Ephraim <0669>_, and the fields <07704> of Samaria <08111>_: and Benjamin <01144> [shall possess] Gilead <01568>_.
20And the captivity <01546> of this host <02426> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> [shall possess] that of the Canaanites <03669>_, [even] unto Zarephath <06886>_; and the captivity <01546> of Jerusalem <03389>_, which [is] in Sepharad <05614>_, shall possess <03423> (8799) the cities <05892> of the south <05045>_. {which...: or, shall possess that which is in}
21And saviours <03467> (8688) shall come up <05927> (8804) on mount <02022> Zion <06726> to judge <08199> (8800) the mount <02022> of Esau <06215>_; and the kingdom <04410> shall be the LORD'S <03068>_.
