The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning EdomH123; We have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 among the heathenH1471, AriseH6965 ye, and let us rise upH6965 against her in battleH4421.
Behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959.
The prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceivedH5377 thee, thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whose habitationH3427 is highH4791; that saithH559 in his heartH3820, Who shall bring me downH3381 to the groundH776?
Though thou exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, thence will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
If thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, if robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (how art thou cut offH1820!) would they not have stolenH1589 till they had enoughH1767? if the grapegatherersH1219 cameH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some grapesH5955? {some…: or, gleanings?}
How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things sought upH1158!
All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366: the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a woundH4204 under thee: there is none understandingH8394 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 dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215?
And thy mightyH1368 men, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 may be cut offH3772 by slaughterH6993.
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; {substance: or, forces}
Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
For as ye have drunkH8354 upon my holyH6944 mountainH2022, so shall all the heathenH1471 drinkH8354 continuallyH8548, yea, they shall drinkH8354, and they shall swallow downH3886, and they shall be as though they had notH3808 been. {swallow…: or, sup up}
But upon mountH2022 ZionH6726 shall be deliveranceH6413, and there shall be holinessH6944; and the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall possessH3423 their possessionsH4180. {deliverance: or, they that escape} {there…: or, it shall be holy}
And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall be a fireH784, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852, and the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 for stubbleH7179, and they shall kindleH1814 in them, and devourH398 them; and there shall not be any remainingH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
And they of the southH5045 shall possessH3423 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and they of the plainH8219 the PhilistinesH6430: and they shall possessH3423 the fieldsH7704 of EphraimH669, and the fieldsH7704 of SamariaH8111: and BenjaminH1144 shall possess GileadH1568.
And the captivityH1546 of this hostH2426 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall possess that of the CanaanitesH3669, even unto ZarephathH6886; and the captivityH1546 of JerusalemH3389, which is in SepharadH5614, shall possessH3423 the citiesH5892 of the southH5045. {which…: or, shall possess that which is in}
And savioursH3467 shall come upH5927 on mountH2022 ZionH6726 to judgeH8199 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and the kingdomH4410 shall be the LORD'SH3068.

RememberH2142, O LORDH3068, the childrenH1121 of EdomH123 in the dayH3117 of JerusalemH3389; who saidH559, RaseH6168 it, raseH6168 it, even to the foundationH3247 thereof. {Rase it: Heb. Make bare}
I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421.
That sendethH7971 ambassadorsH6735 by the seaH3220, even in vesselsH3627 of bulrushesH1573 uponH6440 the watersH4325, saying, GoH3212, ye swiftH7031 messengersH4397, to a nationH1471 scatteredH4900 and peeledH4178, to a peopleH5971 terribleH3372 from their beginning hithertoH1973; a nationH1471 meted outH6978 and trodden downH4001, whose landH776 the riversH5104 have spoiledH958! {scattered…: or, outspread and polished} {meted…: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have…: or, despise}
PrepareH6942 ye warH4421 against her; ariseH6965, and let us go upH5927 at noonH6672. WoeH188 unto us! for the dayH3117 goeth awayH6437, for the shadowsH6752 of the eveningH6153 are stretched outH5186.
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
All ye inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398, and dwellersH7931 on the earthH776, seeH7200 ye, when he lifteth upH5375 an ensignH5251 on the mountainsH2022; and when he blowethH8628 a trumpetH7782, hearH8085 ye.
Come nearH7126, ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085, and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forthH6631 of it. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763 them, he hath deliveredH5414 them to the slaughterH2874.
Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993, and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927 out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 with their bloodH1818.
And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743, and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556 as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034, as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034 from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034 fig from the fig treeH8384.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381 with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459. {unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298 with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121 to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280 there, and findH4672 for herself a place of restH4494. {The wild…desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild…island: Heb. Ijim} {screech…: or, night monster}
There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077, and layH4422, and hatchH1234, and gatherH1716 under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908, every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
Seek ye outH1875 of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737, noneH802 shall wantH6485 her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680, and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 them.
And he hath castH5307 the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505 it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423 it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 therein.
And lest your heartH3824 faintH7401, and ye fearH3372 for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085 in the landH776; a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935 one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in another yearH8141 shall come a rumourH8052, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910 against rulerH4910. {lest: or, let not}
For, lo, I will raiseH5782 and cause to come upH5927 against BabylonH894 an assemblyH6951 of greatH1419 nationsH1471 from the northH6828 countryH776: and they shall set themselves in arrayH6186 against her; from thence she shall be takenH3920: their arrowsH2671 shall be as of a mightyH1368 expert manH7919+H7921; none shall returnH7725 in vainH7387. {expert…: or, destroyer}
And ChaldeaH3778 shall be a spoilH7998: all that spoilH7997 her shall be satisfiedH7646, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Because ye were gladH8055, because ye rejoicedH5937, O ye destroyersH8154 of mine heritageH5159, because ye are grown fatH6335 as the heiferH5697 at grassH1877+H1758, and bellowH6670 as bullsH47; {fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow…: or, neigh as steeds}
Your motherH517 shall be soreH3966 confoundedH954; she that bareH3205 you shall be ashamedH2659: behold, the hindermostH319 of the nationsH1471 shall be a wildernessH4057, a dry landH6723, and a desertH6160.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
Who is this that comethH935 from EdomH123, with dyedH2556 garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is gloriousH1921 in his apparelH3830, travellingH6808 in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mightyH7227 to saveH3467. {glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparelH3830, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadethH1869 in the winefatH1660?
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 is in mine heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935.
And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wonderedH8074 that there was none to upholdH5564: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto me; and my furyH2534, it upheldH5564 me.
And I will tread downH947 the peopleH5971 in mine angerH639, and make them drunkH7937 in my furyH2534, and I will bring downH3381 their strengthH5332 to the earthH776.
AndG1161 ye shallG3195 hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 rumoursG189 of warsG4171: seeG3708 that ye beG2360 notG3361 troubledG2360: forG1063 allG3956 these things mustG1163 come to passG1096, butG235 the endG5056 isG2076 not yetG3768.
Set ye upH5375 a standardH5251 in the landH776, blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepareH6942 the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085 against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, MinniH4508, and AshchenazH813; appointH6485 a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927 as the roughH5569 caterpillersH3218.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 all them which are circumcisedH4135 with the uncircumcisedH6190; {punish: Heb. visit upon}
AndG1161 whenG3752 ye shall hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 rumoursG189 of warsG4171, be yeG2360 notG3361 troubledG2360: forG1063 such things mustG1163 needs beG1096; butG235 the endG5056 shall not be yetG3768.
PrepareH6942 against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.
EgyptH4714, and JudahH3063, and EdomH123, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MoabH4124, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, that dwellH3427 in the wildernessH4057: for all these nationsH1471 are uncircumcisedH6189, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are uncircumcisedH6189 in the heartH3820. {in the utmost…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}
The breakerH6555 is come upH5927 beforeH6440 them: they have broken upH6555, and have passed throughH5674 the gateH8179, and are gone outH3318 by it: and their kingH4428 shall passH5674 beforeH6440 them, and the LORDH3068 on the headH7218 of them.
Then tookH3947 I the cupH3563 at the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, and made all the nationsH1471 to drinkH8248, unto whom the LORDH3068 had sentH7971 me:
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 the LORDH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hearH8085 the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against EdomH123; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationsH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307, at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 seaH3220. {Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 and flyH1675 as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over BozrahH1224: and at that dayH3117 shall the heartH3820 of the mighty menH1368 of EdomH123 be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887.
RejoiceH7797 and be gladH8055, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123, that dwellestH3427 in the landH776 of UzH5780; the cupH3563 also shall passH5674 through unto thee: thou shalt be drunkenH7937, and shalt make thyself nakedH6168.
The punishment of thine iniquityH5771 is accomplishedH8552, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; he will no moreH3254 carry thee away into captivityH1540: he will visitH6485 thine iniquityH5771, O daughterH1323 of EdomH123; he will discoverH1540 thy sinsH2403. {The…: or, Thine iniquity} {discover…: or, carry thee captive for thy sins}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And sayH559 unto it, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, I am against thee, and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 against thee, and I will makeH5414 thee mostH4923 desolateH8077. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
I will layH7760 thy citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and thou shalt be desolateH8077, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will prepareH6213 thee unto bloodH1818, and bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee: sithH518 thou hast not hatedH8130 bloodH1818, even bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee.
Thus will I makeH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 mostH8077 desolateH8077, and cut offH3772 from it him that passeth outH5674 and him that returnethH7725. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
And I will fillH4390 his mountainsH2022 with his slainH2491 men: in thy hillsH1389, and in thy valleysH1516, and in all thy riversH650, shall they fallH5307 that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719.
I will makeH5414 thee perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077, and thy citiesH5892 shall not returnH7725+H3427: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will even doH6213 according to thine angerH639, and according to thine envyH7068 which thou hast usedH6213 out of thy hatredH8135 against them; and I will make myself knownH3045 among them, when I have judgedH8199 thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Thus with your mouthH6310 ye have boastedH1431 against me, and have multipliedH6280 your wordsH1697 against me: I have heardH8085 them. {boasted: Heb. magnified}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
As thou didst rejoiceH8057 at the inheritanceH5159 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, because it was desolateH8074, so will I doH6213 unto thee: thou shalt be desolateH8077, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, and all IdumeaH123, even all of it: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast offH7843 all pityH7356, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetuallyH5703, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5331: {did cast…: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BozrahH1224.
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
