OBADIAH CHAPTER 1
- Obadiah 1:1 Thus said the Lord YHWH to Edom, A report we have heard from YHWH, And an ambassador among nations was sent, 'Rise, yea, let us rise against her for battle.'
- 1:2 Lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised [art] thou exceedingly.
- 1:3 The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart, 'Who doth bring me down [to] earth?')
- 1:4 If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of YHWH.
- 1:5 If thieves have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night, How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not leave gleanings?
- 1:6 How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,
- 1:7 Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him!
- 1:8 Is it not in that day -- an affirmation of YHWH, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?
- 1:9 And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.
- Obadiah 1:10 For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off -- to the age.
- 1:11 In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art] as one of them!
- 1:12 And -- thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a day of distress.
- 1:13 Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,
- 1:14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.
- 1:15 For near [is] the day of YHWH, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on thine own head.
- 1:16 For -- as ye have drunk on My holy mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.
- 1:17 And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed their possessions.
- 1:18 And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For YHWH hath spoken.
- 1:19 And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.
- Obadiah 1:20 And the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
- 1:21 And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to YHWH!'
