11  The vision of Obadiah Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning

Edom We have heard a rumour from the LORD and an ambassador is

sent among the heathen Arise ye and let us rise up against her

in battle  .

 12  Behold I have made thee small among the heathen thou art

greatly despised  .

 13  The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee 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  .

 14  Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle and though thou set

thy nest among the stars thence will I bring thee down saith the

LORD  .

 15  If thieves came to thee if robbers by night how art thou

cut off would they not have stolen till they had enough if the

grapegatherers came to thee would they not leave some grapes  .

 16  How are the things of Esau searched out how are his hidden

things sought up  .

 17  All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to

the border the men that were at peace with thee have deceived

thee and prevailed against thee they that eat thy bread have

laid a wound under thee there is none understanding in him  .

 18  Shall I not in that day saith the LORD even destroy the

wise men out of Edom and understanding out of the mount of Esau  

.

 19  And thy mighty men O Teman shall be dismayed to the end

that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter  

.

 110  For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall

cover thee and thou shalt be cut off for ever  .

 111  In the day that thou stoodest on the other side in the day

that the strangers carried away captive his forces and

foreigners entered into his gates and cast lots upon Jerusalem

even thou wast as one of them  .

 112  But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy

brother in the day that he became a stranger neither shouldest

thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of

their destruction neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in

the day of distress  .

 113  Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people

in the day of their calamity yea thou shouldest not have looked

on their affliction in the day of their calamity nor have laid

hands on their substance in the day of their calamity  .

 114  Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway to cut

off those of his that did escape neither shouldest thou have

delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress

 .

 115  For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen as

thou hast done it shall be done unto thee thy reward shall

return upon thine own head  .

 116  For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain so shall all

the heathen drink continually yea they shall drink and they

shall swallow down and they shall be as though they had not been

 .

 117  But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance and there shall

be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their

possessions  .

 118  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

kindle in them and devour them and there shall not be any

remaining of the house of Esau for the LORD hath spoken it  .

 119  And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau and

they of the plain the Philistines and they shall possess the

fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria and Benjamin shall

possess Gilead  .

 120  And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel

shall possess that of the Canaanites even unto Zarephath and the

captivity of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad shall possess the

cities of the south  .

 121  And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the

mount of Esau and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S  .
