Book 31 Obadiah
31:001:001 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.
31:001:002 Behold, I have made
thee small among the heathen: thou art
greatly despised.
31:001:003 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?
31:001:004 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.
31:001:005 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?
31:001:006 How are the things of
Esau searched out! how are his hidden
things sought up!
31:001:007 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; that they eat thy bread have
laid a wound under
thee: there is none understanding in him.
31:001:008 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?
31:001:009 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.
31:001:010 For thy violence
against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover
thee, and thou shalt be
cut off for ever.
31:001:011 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.
31:001:012 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.
31:001:013 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;
31:001:014 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.
31:001:015 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.
31:001:016 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.
31:001:017 But upon mount Zion
shall be deliverance, and there shall be
holiness; and the house
of Jacob shall possess their
possessions.
31:001:018 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.
31:001:019 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.
31:001:020 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.
31:001:021 And saviours shall come
up on mount Zion to judge the mount of
Esau; and the kingdom
shall be the LORD's.
