1:1 | The 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>. |
1:2 | Behold, I have made <05414> (8804) thee small <06996> among the heathen <01471>: thou art greatly <03966> despised <0959> (8803). |
1:3 | The 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>? |
1:4 | Though 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>. |
1:5 | If 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?} |
1:6 | How are [the things] of Esau <06215> searched out <02664> (8738)! [how] are his hidden <04710> things sought up <01158> (8738)! |
1:7 | All 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} |
1:8 | Shall 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>? |
1:9 | And 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>. |
1:10 | For [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>. |
1:11 | In 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} |
1:12 | But 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} |
1:13 | Thou 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} |
1:14 | Neither 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} |
1:15 | For 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>. |
1:16 | For 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} |
1:17 | But 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} |
1:18 | And 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]. |
1:19 | And [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>. |
1:20 | And 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} |
1:21 | And 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>. |
