Obadiah 1:1-14

1:1

The vision
<02377>

of Obadiah
<05662>_.

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

concerning Edom
<0123>_;

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

a rumour
<08052>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

and an ambassador
<06735>

is sent
<07971> (8795)

among the heathen
<01471>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)

ye, and let us rise up
<06965> (8799)

against her in battle
<04421>_.

1:2

Behold, I have made
<05414> (8804)

thee small
<06996>

among the heathen
<01471>_:

thou art greatly
<03966>

despised
<0959> (8803)_.

1:3

The pride
<02087>

of thine heart
<03820>

hath deceived
<05377> (8689)

thee, thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802)

in the clefts
<02288>

of the rock
<05553>_,

whose habitation
<03427> (8800)

[is] high
<04791>_;

that saith
<0559> (8802)

in his heart
<03820>_,

Who shall bring me down
<03381> (8686)

to the ground
<0776>_?

1:4

Though thou exalt
<01361> (8686)

[thyself] as the eagle
<05404>_,

and though thou set
<07760> (8800)

thy nest
<07064>

among the stars
<03556>_,

thence will I bring thee down
<03381> (8686)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

1:5

If thieves
<01590>

came
<0935> (8804)

to thee, if robbers
<07703> (8802)

by night
<03915>_,

(how art thou cut off
<01820> (8738)!)

would they not have stolen
<01589> (8799)

till they had enough
<01767>_?

if the grapegatherers
<01219> (8802)

came
<0935> (8804)

to thee, would they not leave
<07604> (8686)

[some] grapes
<05955>_?

{some...: or, gleanings?}

1:6

How are [the things] of Esau
<06215>

searched out
<02664> (8738)_!

[how] are his hidden
<04710>

things sought up
<01158> (8738)_!

1:7

All the men
<0582>

of thy confederacy
<01285>

have brought
<07971> (8765)

thee [even] to the border
<01366>_:

the men
<0582>

that were at peace
<07965>

with thee have deceived
<05377> (8689)

thee, [and] prevailed
<03201> (8804)

against thee; [they that eat] thy bread
<03899>

have laid
<07760> (8799)

a wound
<04204>

under thee: [there is] none understanding
<08394>

in him. {that were...: Heb. of thy peace} {they...: Heb. the men of thy bread} {in him: or, of it}

1:8

Shall I not in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

even destroy
<06> (8689)

the wise
<02450>

[men] out of Edom
<0123>_,

and understanding
<08394>

out of the mount
<02022>

of Esau
<06215>_?

1:9

And thy mighty
<01368>

[men], O Teman
<08487>_,

shall be dismayed
<02865> (8804)_,

to the end that every one
<0376>

of the mount
<02022>

of Esau
<06215>

may be cut off
<03772> (8735)

by slaughter
<06993>_.

1:10

For [thy] violence
<02555>

against thy brother
<0251>

Jacob
<03290>

shame
<0955>

shall cover
<03680> (8762)

thee, and thou shalt be cut off
<03772> (8738)

for ever
<05769>_.

1:11

In the day
<03117>

that thou stoodest
<05975> (8800)

on the other side, in the day
<03117>

that the strangers
<02114> (8801)

carried away captive
<07617> (8800)

his forces
<02428>_,

and foreigners
<05237>

entered
<0935> (8804)

into his gates
<08179>_,

and cast
<03032> (8804)

lots
<01486>

upon Jerusalem
<03389>_,

even thou [wast] as one
<0259>

of them. {captive...: or, his substance}

1:12

But thou shouldest not have looked
<07200> (8799)

on the day
<03117>

of thy brother
<0251>

in the day
<03117>

that he became a stranger
<05235>_;

neither shouldest thou have rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

over the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

in the day
<03117>

of their destruction
<06> (8800)_;

neither shouldest thou have spoken
<06310>

proudly
<01431> (8686)

in the day
<03117>

of distress
<06869>_.

{spoken...: Heb. magnified thy mouth}

1:13

Thou shouldest not have entered
<0935> (8799)

into the gate
<08179>

of my people
<05971>

in the day
<03117>

of their calamity
<0343>_;

yea, thou shouldest not have looked
<07200> (8799)

on their affliction
<07451>

in the day
<03117>

of their calamity
<0343>_,

nor have laid
<07971> (8799)

[hands] on their substance
<02428>

in the day
<03117>

of their calamity
<0343>_;

{substance: or, forces}

1:14

Neither shouldest thou have stood
<05975> (8799)

in the crossway
<06563>_,

to cut off
<03772> (8687)

those of his that did escape
<06412>_;

neither shouldest thou have delivered up
<05462> (8686)

those of his that did remain
<08300>

in the day
<03117>

of distress
<06869>_.

{delivered up: or, shut up}
