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.

For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; then I could have borneH5375 it: neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that did magnifyH1431 himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from him:
For I heardH8085 the defamingH1681 of manyH7227, fearH4032 on every sideH5439. ReportH5046, say they, and we will reportH5046 it. All my familiarsH582+H7965 watchedH8104 for my haltingH6763+H6761, saying, Peradventure he will be enticedH6601, and we shall prevailH3201 against him, and we shall takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him. {All…: Heb. Every man of my peace}
Yea, mine own familiarH7965 friendH376, in whom I trustedH982, which did eatH398 of my breadH3899, hath lifted upH1431 his heelH6119 against me. {mine…: Heb. the man of my peace} {lifted…: Heb. magnified}
Surely the princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are foolsH191, the counselH6098 of the wiseH2450 counsellorsH3289 of PharaohH6547 is become brutishH1197: how sayH559 ye unto PharaohH6547, I am the sonH1121 of the wiseH2450, the sonH1121 of ancientH6924 kingsH4428?
WhereH335 are they? whereH645 are thy wiseH2450 men? and let them tellH5046 thee now, and let them knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 upon EgyptH4714.
The princesH8269 of ZoanH6814 are become foolsH2973, the princesH8269 of NophH5297 are deceivedH5377; they have also seducedH8582 EgyptH4714, even they that are the stayH6438 of the tribesH7626 thereof. {they that…: or, governors: Heb. corners}
The LORDH3068 hath mingledH4537 a perverseH5773 spiritH7307 in the midstH7130 thereof: and they have caused EgyptH4714 to errH8582 in every workH4639 thereof, as a drunkenH7910 man staggerethH8582 in his vomitH6892. {a perverse…: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, my guideH441, and mine acquaintanceH3045. {mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}
And, behold, all the womenH802 that are leftH7604 in the kingH4428 of Judah'sH3063 houseH1004 shall be brought forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, and those women shall sayH559, Thy friendsH582+H7965 have set thee onH5496, and have prevailedH3201 against thee: thy feetH7272 are sunkH2883 in the mireH1206, and they are turned awayH5472 backH268. {Thy friends: Heb. Men of thy peace}
I speakG3004 notG3756 ofG4012 youG5216 allG3956: IG1473 knowG1492 whomG3739 I have chosenG1586: butG235 thatG2443 the scriptureG1124 may be fulfilledG4137, He that eatethG5176 breadG740 withG3326 meG1700 hath lifted upG1869 hisG846 heelG4418 againstG1909 meG1691.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
And when thou art spoiledH7703, what wilt thou doH6213? Though thou clothestH3847 thyself with crimsonH8144, though thou deckestH5710 thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, though thou rentestH7167 thy faceH5869 with paintingH6320, in vainH7723 shalt thou make thyself fairH3302; thy loversH5689 will despiseH3988 thee, they will seekH1245 thy lifeH5315. {face: Heb. eyes}
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
All thy loversH157 have forgottenH7911 thee; they seekH1875 thee not; for I have woundedH5221 thee with the woundH4347 of an enemyH341, with the chastisementH4148 of a cruel oneH394, for the multitudeH7230 of thine iniquityH5771; because thy sinsH2403 were increasedH6105.
The sorrowsH2256 of a travailing womanH3205 shall comeH935 upon him: he is an unwiseH2450 sonH1121; for he should not stayH5975 longH6256 in the place of the breaking forthH4866 of childrenH1121. {long: Heb. a time}
I calledH7121 for my loversH157, but they deceivedH7411 me: my priestsH3548 and mine eldersH2205 gave up the ghostH1478 in the cityH5892, while they soughtH1245 their meatH400 to relieveH7725 their soulsH5315.
Therefore, O AholibahH172, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will raise upH5782 thy loversH157 against thee, from whom thy mindH5315 is alienatedH5361, and I will bringH935 them against thee on every sideH5439;
The BabyloniansH1121+H894, and all the ChaldeansH3778, PekodH6489, and ShoaH7772, and KoaH6970, and all the AssyriansH1121+H804 with them: all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, great lordsH7991 and renownedH7121, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
And they shall comeH935 against thee with chariotsH2021, wagonsH7393, and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblyH6951 of peopleH5971, which shall setH7760 against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round aboutH5439: and I will setH5414 judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.
And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213 furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493 thy noseH639 and thine earsH241; and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 areG1526 tenG1176 kingsG935, whichG3748 have receivedG2983 noG3768 kingdomG932 as yetG3768; butG235 receiveG2983 powerG1849 asG5613 kingsG935 oneG3391 hourG5610 withG3326 the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 haveG2192 oneG3391 mindG1106, andG2532 shall giveG1239 theirG1438 powerG1411 andG2532 strengthG1849 unto the beastG2342.
TheseG3778 shall make warG4170 withG3326 the LambG721, andG2532 the LambG721 shall overcomeG3528 themG846: forG3754 he isG2076 LordG2962 of lordsG2962, andG2532 KingG935 of kingsG935: andG2532 they that are withG3326 himG846 are calledG2822, andG2532 chosenG1588, andG2532 faithfulG4103.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto meG3427, The watersG5204 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492, whereG3757 the whoreG4204 sittethG2521, areG1526 peoplesG2992, andG2532 multitudesG3793, andG2532 nationsG1484, andG2532 tonguesG1100.
AndG2532 the tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 thou sawestG1492 uponG1909 the beastG2342, theseG3778 shall hateG3404 the whoreG4204, andG2532 shall makeG4160 herG846 desolateG2049 andG2532 nakedG1131, andG2532 shall eatG5315 herG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 burnG2618 herG846 withG1722 fireG4442.
ForG1063 GodG2316 hath putG1325 inG1519 theirG846 heartsG2588 to fulfilG4160 hisG846 willG1106, andG2532 to agreeG4160+G3391+G1106, andG2532 giveG1325 theirG846 kingdomG932 unto the beastG2342, untilG891 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316 shall be fulfilledG5055.
