Obadiah, the vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God

concerning Edom. We have heard a report from the Lord,

and a messenger has been sent among the nations. Rise up.

Let us rise against her for battle. Behold, I will

make you small among the nations. You shall be utterly despised.

The pride of your heart has deceived you. You who

live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling,

Who say in your heart, who will bring me down

to the ground? Though you soar aloft like the eagle,

though your nest is set among the stars. From there

I will bring you down, declares the Lord. If thieves

came to you, If plunderers came by night, how you

have been destroyed. Would they not steal only enough for themselves?

If great gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?

How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out. All

your allies have driven you to your border. Those at

peace with you have deceived you. They have prevailed against you.

Those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you.

You have no understanding. Will I not on that day,

declares the Lord, destroy the wise men out of edom

and understanding out of Mount Esau, and your mighty men

shall be dismayed o timon, so that every man from

Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter because of

the violence done to your brother Jacob. Shame shall cover you,

and you shall be cut off forever. On the day

that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried

off his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates and cast

lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. But

do not gloat over the day of your brother in

the day of his misfortune. Do not rejoice over the

people of Judah in the day of their ruin. Do

not boast in the day of distress. Do not enter

the gate of my people in the day of their calamity.

Do not gloat over his disaster in the day of

his calamity. Do not loute his wealth in the day

of his calamity. Do not stand at the crossroads to

cut off his fugitives. Do not hand over his survivors

in the day of distress. For the day of the

Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done,

it shall be done to you. Your deeds shall return

on your own head. For as you have drunk on

my holy mountain. So all the nations shall drink continually.

They shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though

they had never been. But in Mount Zion there shall

be those who escape, and it shall be holy. And

the House of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. The

House of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house

of Joseph aflay, and the House of Esau stubble. They

shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be

no survivor for the House of Esau. For the Lord

has spoken. Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,

and those of the Shafilos shall possess the land of

the Philistines. They shall possess the land of Ephraim and

the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilea. The

exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall

possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Xeriphath,

and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepphorad shall

possess the cities of the Negeb. Saviors shall go up

to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom

shall be the lords,
