And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
Also in the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of his reignH4427 he sentH7971 to his princesH8269, even to BenhailH1134, and to ObadiahH5662, and to ZechariahH2148, and to NethaneelH5417, and to MichaiahH4322, to teachH3925 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.
HattushH2407, ShebaniahH7645, MalluchH4409,
MattaniahH4983, and BakbukiahH1229, ObadiahH5662, MeshullamH4918, TalmonH2929, AkkubH6126, were portersH7778 keepingH8104 the wardH4929 at the thresholdsH624 of the gatesH8179. {thresholds: or, treasuries, or, assemblies}
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
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.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against mountH2022 SeirH8165, and prophesyH5012 against it,
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.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Surely in the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068 have I spokenH1696 against the residueH7611 of the heathenH1471, and against all IdumeaH123, which have appointedH5414 my landH776 into their possessionH4181 with the joyH8057 of all their heartH3824, with despitefulH7589 mindsH5315, to cast it outH4054 for a preyH957.
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}
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
Then JehoramH3088 went forthH5674 with his princesH8269, and all his chariotsH7393 with him: and he rose upH6965 by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 the EdomitesH123 which compassed him inH5437, and the captainsH8269 of the chariotsH7393.
So the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the handH3027 of JudahH3063 unto this dayH3117. The same timeH6256 also did LibnahH3841 revoltH6586 from under his handH3027; because he had forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1.
Moreover the LORDH3068 stirred upH5782 against JehoramH3088 the spiritH7307 of the PhilistinesH6430, and of the ArabiansH6163, that were nearH5921+H3027 the EthiopiansH3569:
And they came upH5927 into JudahH3063, and brakeH1234 into it, and carried awayH7617 all the substanceH7399 that was foundH4672 in the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and his sonsH1121 also, and his wivesH802; so that there was never a sonH1121 leftH7604 him, save JehoahazH3059, the youngestH6996 of his sonsH1121. {carried…: Heb. carried captive} {Jehoahaz: also called, Ahaziah, Chap.22.I. or, Azariah, ver.6.}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123: {away captive…: or, them away with an entire}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof:
And I will cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from AshkelonH831, and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 against EkronH6138: and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyrusH6865, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they delivered upH5462 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherlyH251 covenantH1285: {the brotherly…: Heb. the covenant of brethren}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyrusH6865, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
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.
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}
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.

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}

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.

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.
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 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.
