==== <OB1>

OB-1:1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD
concerning Edom; We

have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent
among the

heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

OB-1:2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou
art greatly

despised.

OB-1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that
dwellest in the

clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in
his heart, Who

shall bring me down to the ground?

OB-1:4 Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though
thou set thy nest

among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

OB-1:5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art
thou cut off!)

would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the
grapegatherers came to

thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?

OB-1:6 How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his
hidden things

sought up!

OB-1:7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even]
to the border:

the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and]
prevailed

against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under
thee: [there

is] none understanding in him.

OB-1:8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy
the wise [men]

out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

OB-1:9 And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the
end that

every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

OB-1:10 For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame
shall cover thee,

and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

OB-1:11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the
day that the

strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners
entered into his

gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of
them.

OB-1:12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy
brother in the

day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have
rejoiced over the

children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither
shouldest thou have

spoken proudly in the day of distress.

OB-1:13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my
people in the day

of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their
affliction in

the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their
substance in the day

of their calamity;

OB-1:14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to
cut off those

of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up
those of his

that did remain in the day of distress.

OB-1:15 For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen:
as thou hast

done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon
thine own head.



OB-1:16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall
all the

heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall
swallow down,

and they shall be as though they had not been.

OB-1:17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there
shall be

holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

OB-1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house
of Joseph a

flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle
in them, and

devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house
of Esau; for

the LORD hath spoken [it].

OB-1:19 And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau;
and [they

of] the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields
of Ephraim,

and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.

OB-1:20 And the captivity of this host of the children of
Israel [shall

possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] unto Zarephath; and the
captivity of

Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of
the south.

OB-1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the
mount of Esau;

and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
