\par }\OneChap {\PP \VerseOne{1}The
vision
of
Obadiah.
\par }{\PP Thus
saith
the
Lord
Jehovah
concerning
Edom:
We
have
heard
tidings
from
Jehovah,
and
an
ambassador
is
sent
among
the
nations,
{\ADD{
saying}},
Arise
ye,
and
let
us
rise
up
against
her
in
battle.
\VS{2}Behold,
I
have
made
thee
small
among
the
nations:
thou
art
greatly
despised.
\VS{3}The
pride
of
thy
heart
hath
deceived
thee,
O
thou
that
dwellest
in
the
clefts
of
the
rock,
whose
habitation
is
high;
that
saith
in
his
heart,
Who
shall
bring
me
down
to
the
ground?
\VS{4}Though
thou
mount
on
high
as
the
eagle,
and
though
thy
nest
be
set
among
the
stars,
I
will
bring
thee
down
from
thence,
saith
Jehovah.
\par }{\PP \VS{5}If
thieves
came
to
thee,
if
robbers
by
night (how
art
thou
cut
off!),
would
they
not
steal
{\ADD{
only}}
till
they
had
enough?
if grape-gatherers
came
to
thee,
would
they
not
leave
some
gleaning
grapes?
\VS{6}How
are
{\ADD{
the
things
of}}
Esau
searched!
how
are
his
hidden
treasures
sought
out!
\VS{7}All
the
men
of
thy
confederacy
have
brought
thee
on
thy
way,
even
to
the
border:
the
men
that
were
at
peace
with
thee
have
deceived
thee,
and
prevailed
against
thee;
{\ADD{
they
that
eat}}
thy
bread
lay
a
snare
under
thee:
there
is
no
understanding
in
him.
\VS{8}Shall
I
not
in
that
day,
saith
Jehovah,
destroy
the
wise
men
out
of
Edom,
and
understanding
out
of
the
mount
of
Esau?
\VS{9}And
thy
mighty
men,
O
Teman,
shall
be
dismayed,
to
the
end
that
every
one
may
be
cut
off
from
the
mount
of
Esau
by
slaughter.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}For
the
violence
done
to
thy
brother
Jacob,
shame
shall
cover
thee,
and
thou shalt
be
cut
off
for
ever.
\VS{11}In
the
day
that
thou
stoodest
on
the
other
side,
in
the
day
that
strangers
carried
away
his
substance,
and
foreigners
entered
into
his
gates,
and
cast
lots
upon
Jerusalem,
even
thou wast
as
one
of
them.
\VS{12}But
look
not
thou
on
the
day
of
thy
brother
in
the
day
of
his
disaster,
and
rejoice
not
over
the
children
of
Judah
in
the
day
of
their
destruction;
neither
speak
proudly
in
the
day
of
distress.
\VS{13}Enter
not
into
the
gate
of
my
people
in
the
day
of
their
calamity;
yea,
look
not
thou
on
their
affliction
in
the
day
of
their
calamity,
neither
lay
ye
{\ADD{
hands}}
on
their
substance
in
the
day
of
their
calamity.
\VS{14}And
stand
thou
not
in
the
crossway,
to
cut
off
those
of
his
that
escape;
and
deliver
not
up
those
of
his
that
remain
in
the
day
of
distress.
\par }{\PP \VS{15}For
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
near
upon
all
the
nations:
as
thou
hast
done,
it
shall
be
done
unto
thee;
thy dealing
shall
return
upon
thine
own
head.
\VS{16}For
as
ye
have
drunk
upon
my
holy
mountain,
so
shall
all
the
nations
drink
continually;
yea,
they
shall
drink,
and
swallow
down,
and
shall
be
as
though
they
had
not
been.
\par }{\PP \VS{17}But
in
mount
Zion
there
shall
be
those
that
escape,
and
it
shall
be
holy;
and
the
house
of
Jacob
shall
possess
their
possessions.
\VS{18}And
the
house
of
Jacob
shall
be
a
fire,
and
the
house
of
Joseph
a
flame,
and
the
house
of
Esau
for
stubble,
and
they
shall
burn
among
them,
and
devour
them;
and
there
shall
not
be
any
remaining
to
the
house
of
Esau;
for
Jehovah
hath
spoken
it.
\VS{19}And
they
of
the
South
shall
possess
the
mount
of
Esau,
and
they
of
the
lowland
the
Philistines;
and
they
shall
possess
the
field
of
Ephraim,
and
the
field
of
Samaria;
and
Benjamin
{\ADD{
shall
possess}}
Gilead.
\VS{20}And
the
captives
of
this
host
of
the
children
of
Israel,
that
are
{\ADD{
among}}
the
Canaanites,
{\ADD{
shall
possess}}
even
unto
Zarephath;
and
the
captives
of
Jerusalem,
that
are
in
Sepharad,
shall
possess
the
cities
of
the
South.
\VS{21}And
saviours
shall
come
up
on
mount
Zion
to
judge
the
mount
of
Esau;
and
the
kingdom
shall
be Jehovah’s.
