Obadiah 1:1-16

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>_.
Behold, I have made
<05414> (8804)
thee small
<06996>
among the heathen
<01471>_:
thou art greatly
<03966>
despised
<0959> (8803)_.
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>_?
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>_.
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?}
How are [the things] of Esau
<06215>
searched out
<02664> (8738)_!
[how] are his hidden
<04710>
things sought up
<01158> (8738)_!
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}
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>_?
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
