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.

If I rejoicedH8055 at the destructionH6365 of him that hatedH8130 me, or lifted upH5782 myself when evilH7451 foundH4672 him:
TalkH1696 no moreH7235 so exceedingH1364 proudlyH1364; let not arrogancyH6277 comeH3318 out of your mouthH6310: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844, and by him actionsH5949 are weighedH8505. {arrogancy: Heb. hard}
ByH3027 thy servantsH5650 hast thou reproachedH2778 the LordH136, and hast saidH559, By the multitudeH7230 of my chariotsH7393 am I come upH5927 to the heightH4791 of the mountainsH2022, to the sidesH3411 of LebanonH3844; and I will cut downH3772 the tallH6967 cedarsH730 thereof, and the choiceH4005 fir treesH1265 thereof: and I will enterH935 into the heightH4791 of his borderH7093, and the forestH3293 of his CarmelH3760. {By thy…: Heb. By the hand of thy servants} {the tall…: Heb. the tallness of the cedars thereof and the choice of the fir trees thereof} {the forest…: or, the forest and his fruitful field}
Whoso mockethH3932 the poorH7326 reproachethH2778 his MakerH6213: and he that is gladH8056 at calamitiesH343 shall not be unpunishedH5352. {unpunished: Heb. held innocent}
Let the lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be put to silenceH481; which speakH1696 grievousH6277 things proudlyH1346 and contemptuouslyH937 against the righteousH6662. {grievous…: Heb. a hard thing}
EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG1100 isG2076 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG2400, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381! {a matter: or, wood}
For he hath deliveredH5337 me out of all troubleH6869: and mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 his desire upon mine enemiesH341.
RejoiceH8055 not when thine enemyH341 fallethH5307, and let not thine heartH3820 be gladH1523 when he stumblethH3782:
ForG1063 when they speakG5350 great swellingG5246 words of vanityG3153, they allureG1185 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of the fleshG4561, through much wantonnessG766, those that were cleanG3689 escapedG668 from them who liveG390 inG1722 errorG4106. {clean: or, for a little, or, a while, as some read}
The GodH430 of my mercyH2617 shall preventH6923 me: GodH430 shall let me seeH7200 my desire upon mine enemiesH8324. {enemies: Heb. observers}
Lest the LORDH3068 seeH7200 it, and it displeaseH7489+H5869 him, and he turn awayH7725 his wrathH639 from him. {it displeaseth…: Heb. it be evil in his eyes}
TheseG3778 areG1526 murmurersG1113, complainersG3202, walkingG4198 afterG2596 their ownG846 lustsG1939; andG2532 theirG846 mouthG4750 speakethG2980 great swellingG5246 words, having men's personsG4383 in admirationG2296 becauseG5484 of advantageG5622.
Mine eyeH5869 also shall seeH5027 my desire on mine enemiesH7790, and mine earsH241 shall hearH8085 my desire of the wickedH7489 that rise upH6965 against me.
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.
AndG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 a mouthG4750 speakingG2980 great thingsG3173 andG2532 blasphemiesG988; andG2532 powerG1849 was givenG1325 unto himG846 to continueG4160 fortyG5062 and twoG1417 monthsG3376. {to continue: or, to make war}
Now also manyH7227 nationsH1471 are gatheredH622 against thee, that sayH559, Let her be defiledH2610, and let our eyeH5869 lookH2372 upon ZionH6726.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
RejoiceH8055 not against me, O mine enemyH341: when I fallH5307, I shall ariseH6965; when I sitH3427 in darknessH2822, the LORDH3068 shall be a lightH216 unto me.
I will bearH5375 the indignationH2197 of the LORDH3068, because I have sinnedH2398 against him, until he pleadH7378 my causeH7379, and executeH6213 judgmentH4941 for me: he will bring me forthH3318 to the lightH216, and I shall beholdH7200 his righteousnessH6666.
Then she that is mine enemyH341 shall seeH7200 it, and shameH955 shall coverH3680 her which saidH559 unto me, Where is the LORDH3068 thy GodH430? mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200 her: now shall she be trodden downH4823 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351. {Then…: or, And thou wilt see her that is mine enemy, and cover her with shame} {shall she…: Heb. she shall be for a treading down}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
AndG2532 sayingG3004, Thou that destroyestG2647 the templeG3485, andG2532 buildestG3618 it inG1722 threeG5140 daysG2250, saveG4982 thyselfG4572. IfG1487 thou beG1488 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG4716.
LikewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the chief priestsG749 mockingG1702 him, withG3326 the scribesG1122 andG2532 eldersG4245, saidG3004,
He savedG4982 othersG243; himselfG1438 he cannotG3756+G1410 saveG4982. IfG1487 he beG2076 the KingG935 of IsraelG2474, let himG2597 nowG3568 come downG2597 fromG575 the crossG4716, andG2532 we will believeG4100 himG846.
He trustedG3982 inG1909 GodG2316; let him deliverG4506 himG846 nowG3568, ifG1487 he will haveG2309 himG846: forG1063 he saidG2036+G3754, I amG1510 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
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.
