Obadiah
The Destruction of Edom
[This is] the vision of Obadiah:
This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom —
We have heard a message from the LORD;
an envoy has been sent among the nations
[to say,] “Rise up,
and let us go to battle against her!”—
2“ Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
you will be deeply despised.
3The pride of your heart has deceived you,
O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks[fn]
whose habitation is the heights,
who say in your heart,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.
5“ If thieves came to you,
if robbers by night —
oh, how you will be ruined —
would they not steal [only] what they wanted?
If grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave [some] gleanings?
6But how Esau will be pillaged,
his hidden treasures sought out!
7All the men allied with you
will drive you to the border;
the men at peace with you
will deceive and overpower you.
[Those who eat] your bread[fn]
will set a trap for you
without your awareness of it.
8In that day, declares the LORD,
will I not destroy the wise [men] of Edom
and the men of understanding
in the mountains of Esau?
9Then your mighty men, O Teman,
will be terrified,
so that everyone in the mountains of Esau
will be cut down in the slaughter.
10Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
you will be covered with shame
and cut off forever.
11On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gate
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were just like one of them.
12But you should not gloat in that day,
your brother’s day of misfortune,
nor rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,
nor boast proudly
in the day of their distress.
13You should not enter the gate of My people
in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over their affliction
in the day of their disaster,
nor loot their wealth
in the day of their disaster.
14Nor should you stand at the crossroads
to cut off their fugitives,
nor deliver up their survivors
in the day of their distress.
15The Deliverance of Israel
For the Day of the LORD is near
for all the nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your recompense will return upon your own head.
16For as you drank on My holy mountain,
so all the nations will drink continually.
They will drink and gulp [it] down;
they will be as if they had never existed.
17But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance,
and it will be holy,
and the house of Jacob
will reclaim their possession.
18Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,
and the house of Joseph a burning flame;
but the house of Esau will be stubble —
Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it.
Therefore no survivor will remain
from the house of Esau.” For the LORD has spoken.
19Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau;
those from the foothills[fn] [will possess the land] of the Philistines.
They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,
and Benjamin [will possess] Gilead.
20And the exiles of this host vvv of the Israelites
[will possess the land] of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath;
and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the cities of the Negev.
21The deliverers will ascend[fn] Mount Zion
to rule over the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
