01 : 01 . The vision <02377 +chazown > of Obadiah <05662

<00136 +>Adonay > GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > concerning Edom <00123
+>Edom > ; We have heard <08085 +shama< > a rumour <08052
+sh@muw<ah > from the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and an ambassador
<06735 +tsiyr > is sent <07971 +shalach > among the heathen

01 : 02 Behold <02009 +hinneh > , I have made <05414 +nathan >
thee small <06996 +qatan > among the heathen <01471 +gowy > :
thou art greatly <03966 +m@<od > despised <00959 +bazah > .
01 : 03 The pride <02087 +zadown > of thine heart <03820 +leb >
hath deceived <05377 +nasha> > thee , thou that dwellest <07931
+shakan > in the clefts <02288 +chagav > of the rock <05553
+cela< > , whose habitation <03427 +yashab > [ is ] high <04791

+yarad > to the ground <00776 +>erets > ?
01 : 04 Though <00518 +>im > thou exalt <01361 +gabahh > [
thyself ] as the eagle <5404nesher > , and though <00518 +>im >
thou set <07760 +suwm > thy nest <07064 +qen > among <00996
+beyn > the stars <03556 +kowkab > , thence <08033 +sham > will
I bring <03381 +yarad > thee down <03381 +yarad > , saith <05002

01 : 05 If <00518 +>im > thieves <01590 +gannab > came <00935

) would they not have stolen <01589 +ganab > till they had
enough <01767 +day > ? if <00518 +>im > the grapegatherers
<01219 +batsar > came <00935 +bow> > to thee , would <14> they
not leave <07604 +sha>ar > [ some ] grapes ?
01 : 06 How <00349 +>eyk > are [ the things ] of Esau <06215
+<Esav > searched <02664 +chaphas > out ! [ how ] are his
hidden <04710 +mitspun > things sought <01156 +b@<a> > up !
01 : 07 All <03605 +kol > the men <00582 +>enowsh > of thy
confederacy <01285 +b@riyth > have brought <07971 +shalach >
thee [ even ] to the border <01366 +g@buwl > : the men <00582

deceived <05377 +nasha> > thee , [ and ] prevailed <03201 +yakol

have laid <07760 +suwm > a wound <04204 +mazowr > under <08478
+tachath > thee : [ there is ] none <00369 +>ayin >
understanding <08394 +tabuwn > in him .
01 : 08 Shall I not in that day <03117 +yowm > , saith <05002
+n@>um > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , even destroy <6> the wise
<02450 +chakam > [ men ] out of Edom <00123 +>Edom > , and
understanding <08394 +tabuwn > out of the mount <02022 +har > of
Esau <06215 +<Esav > ?
01 : 09 And thy mighty <01368 +gibbowr > [ men ] , O Teman
<08487 +Teyman > , shall be dismayed <02865 +chathath > , to the
end <04616 +ma<an > that every <00376 +>iysh > one <00376 +>iysh

<03772 +karath > off by slaughter <06993 +qetel > .
01 : 10 . For [ thy ] violence <02555 +chamac > against thy
brother <00251 +>ach > Jacob <03290 +Ya<aqob > shame <00955
+buwshah > shall cover <03680 +kacah > thee , and thou shalt be
cut <03772 +karath > off for ever <05769 +<owlam > .
01 : 11 In the day <03117 +yowm > that thou stoodest <05975
+<amad > on the other <05048 +neged > side <05048 +neged > , in
the day <03117 +yowm > that the strangers <02114 +zuwr > carried
<07617 +shabah > away captive <07617 +shabah > his forces <02428

lots <01486 +gowral > upon Jerusalem <03389 +Y@ruwshalaim > ,
even <01571 +gam > thou [ wast ] as one <00259 +>echad > of them
.
01 : 12 But thou shouldest not have looked <07200 +ra>ah > on
the day <03117 +yowm > of thy brother <00251 +>ach > in the day
<03117 +yowm > that he became <05235 +neker > a stranger <05235
+neker > ; neither <00408 +>al > shouldest thou have rejoiced

+Y@huwdah > in the day <03117 +yowm > of their destruction <6> ;
neither <00408 +>al > shouldest thou have spoken <06310 +peh >
proudly <01431 +gadal > in the day <03117 +yowm > of distress
<06869 +tsarah > .
01 : 13 Thou shouldest not have entered <00935 +bow> > into the
gate <08179 +sha<ar > of my people <05971 +<am > in the day
<03117 +yowm > of their calamity <00343 +>eyd > ; yea <01571

those of his that did remain <08300 +sariyd > in the day <03117
+yowm > of distress <06869 +tsarah > .
01 : 15 For the day <03117 +yowm > of the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah >
[ is ] near <07138 +qarowb > upon all <03605 +kol > the heathen

.
01 : 16 For as ye have drunk <08354 +shathah > upon my holy

<03605 +kol > the heathen <01471 +gowy > drink <08354 +shathah >
continually <08548 +tamiyd > , yea , they shall drink <08354
+shathah > , and they shall swallow <03886 +luwa< > down , and
they shall be as though they had not been <01961 +hayah > .
01 : 17 . But upon mount <02022 +har > Zion <06726 +Tsiyown >

remaining <08300 +sariyd > of the house <01004 +bayith > of Esau
<06215 +<Esav > ; for the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > hath spoken
<01696 +dabar > [ it ] .
01 : 19 And [ they of ] the south <05045 +negeb > shall possess
<03423 +yarash > the mount <02022 +har > of Esau <06215 +<Esav >
