: Obadiah 1

 : 1 .  The vision <2377 chazown > of Obadiah <5662 <Obadyah > . 
 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > 
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > concerning Edom <0123 >Edom > ;  We have 
heard <8085 shama< > a rumour <8052 sh@muw<ah > from the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > ,  and an ambassador <6735 tsiyr > is sent <7971 
shalach > among the heathen <1471 gowy > ,  Arise <6965 quwm > 
ye ,  and let us rise <6965 quwm > up against <5921 <al > her in 
battle <4421 milchamah > . 

 : 2 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I have made <5414 nathan > thee 
small <6996 qatan > among the heathen <1471 gowy > : thou art 
greatly <3966 m@<od > despised <0959 bazah > . 

 : 3 The pride <2087 zadown > of thine heart <3820 leb > hath 
deceived <5377 nasha> > thee ,  thou that dwellest <7931 shakan 
> in the clefts <2288 chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< > ,  
whose habitation <3427 yashab >  [ is ]  high <4791 marowm > ;  
that saith <0559 >amar > in his heart <3820 leb > ,  Who <4310 
miy > shall bring <3381 yarad > me down <3381 yarad > to the 
ground <0776 >erets > ? 

 : 4 Though <0518 >im > thou exalt <1361 gabahh >  [ thyself ]  
as the eagle <5404nesher > ,  and though <0518 >im > thou set 
<7760 suwm > thy nest <7064 qen > among <0996 beyn > the stars 
<3556 kowkab > ,  thence <8033 sham > will I bring <3381 yarad > 
thee down <3381 yarad > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > . 

 : 5 If <0518 >im > thieves <1590 gannab > came <0935 bow> > to 
thee ,  if <0518 >im > robbers <7703 shadad > by night <3915 
layil > ,   ( how art thou cut <1820 damah > off !  )  would 
they not have stolen <1589 ganab > till they had enough <1767 
day > ?  if <0518 >im > the grapegatherers <1219 batsar > came 
<0935 bow> > to thee ,  would <14> they not leave <7604 sha>ar > 
 [ some ]  grapes ? 

 : 6 How <0349 >eyk > are  [ the things ]  of Esau <6215 <Esav > 
searched <2664 chaphas > out !   [ how ]  are his hidden <4710 
mitspun > things sought <1156 b@<a> > up ! 

 : 7 All <3605 kol > the men <0582 >enowsh > of thy confederacy 
<1285 b@riyth > have brought <7971 shalach > thee  [ even ]  to 
the border <1366 g@buwl > : the men <0582 >enowsh > that were at 
peace <7965 shalowm > with thee have deceived <5377 nasha> > 
thee ,   [ and ]  prevailed <3201 yakol > against thee ;   [ 
they that eat ]  thy bread <3899 lechem > have laid <7760 suwm > 
a wound <4204 mazowr > under <8478 tachath > thee :  [ there is 
]  none <0369 >ayin > understanding <8394 tabuwn > in him . 

 : 8 Shall I not in that day <3117 yowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  even destroy <6> the wise <2450 
chakam >  [ men ]  out of Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and 
understanding <8394 tabuwn > out of the mount <2022 har > of 
Esau <6215 <Esav > ? 

 : 9 And thy mighty <1368 gibbowr >  [ men ]  ,  O Teman <8487 
Teyman > ,  shall be dismayed <2865 chathath > ,  to the end 
<4616 ma<an > that every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > of the 
mount <2022 har > of Esau <6215 <Esav > may be cut <3772 karath 
> off by slaughter <6993 qetel > . 

 : 10 .  For  [ thy ]  violence <2555 chamac > against thy 
brother <0251 >ach > Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > shame <0955 buwshah > 
shall cover <3680 kacah > thee ,  and thou shalt be cut <3772 
karath > off for ever <5769 <owlam > . 

 : 11 In the day <3117 yowm > that thou stoodest <5975 <amad > 
on the other <5048 neged > side <5048 neged > ,  in the day 
<3117 yowm > that the strangers <2114 zuwr > carried <7617 
shabah > away captive <7617 shabah > his forces <2428 chayil > , 
 and foreigners <5237 nokriy > entered <0935 bow> > into his 
gates <8179 sha<ar > ,  and cast <3032 yadad > lots <1486 gowral 
> upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  even <1571 gam > thou  
[ wast ]  as one <0259 >echad > of them . 

 : 12 But thou shouldest not have looked <7200 ra>ah > on the 
day <3117 yowm > of thy brother <0251 >ach > in the day <3117 
yowm > that he became <5235 neker > a stranger <5235 neker > ;  
neither <0408 >al > shouldest thou have rejoiced <8055 samach > 
over the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > in the 
day <3117 yowm > of their destruction <6> ;  neither <0408 >al > 
shouldest thou have spoken <6310 peh > proudly <1431 gadal > in 
the day <3117 yowm > of distress <6869 tsarah > . 

 : 13 Thou shouldest not have entered <0935 bow> > into the gate 
<8179 sha<ar > of my people <5971 <am > in the day <3117 yowm > 
of their calamity <0343 >eyd > ;  yea <1571 gam > ,  thou 
shouldest not have looked <7200 ra>ah > on their affliction 
<7451 ra< > in the day <3117 yowm > of their calamity <0343 >eyd 
> ,  nor <0408 >al > have laid <7971 shalach >  [ hands ]  on 
their substance <2428 chayil > in the day <3117 yowm > of their 
calamity <0343 >eyd > ; 

 : 14 Neither <0408 >al > shouldest thou have stood <5975 <amad 
> in the crossway <6563 pereq > ,  to cut <3772 karath > off 
those of his that did escape <6412 paliyt > ;  neither <0408 >al 
> shouldest thou have delivered <5462 cagar > up those of his 
that did remain <8300 sariyd > in the day <3117 yowm > of 
distress <6869 tsarah > . 

 : 15 For the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is 
]  near <7138 qarowb > upon all <3605 kol > the heathen <1471 
gowy > : as thou hast done <6213 <asah > ,  it shall be done 
<6213 <asah > unto thee : thy reward <1576 g@muwl > shall return 
<7725 shuwb > upon thine own head <7218 ro>sh > . 

 : 16 For as ye have drunk <8354 shathah > upon my holy <6944 
qodesh > mountain <2022 har > ,   [ so ]  shall all <3605 kol > 
the heathen <1471 gowy > drink <8354 shathah > continually <8548 
tamiyd > ,  yea ,  they shall drink <8354 shathah > ,  and they 
shall swallow <3886 luwa< > down ,  and they shall be as though 
they had not been <1961 hayah > . 

 : 17 .  But upon mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > shall 
be deliverance <6413 p@leytah > ,  and there shall be holiness 
<6944 qodesh > ;  and the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 
Ya<aqob > shall possess <3423 yarash > their possessions <4180 
mowrash > . 

 : 18 And the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > 
shall be a fire <0784 >esh > ,  and the house <1004 bayith > of 
Joseph <3130 Yowceph > a flame <3852 lehabah > ,  and the house 
<1004 bayith > of Esau <6215 <Esav > for stubble <7179 qash > ,  
and they shall kindle <1814 dalaq > in them ,  and devour <0398 
>akal > them ;  and there shall not be  [ any ]  remaining <8300 
sariyd > of the house <1004 bayith > of Esau <6215 <Esav > ;  
for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar >  [ it ]  .
 

 : 19 And  [ they of ]  the south <5045 negeb > shall possess 
<3423 yarash > the mount <2022 har > of Esau <6215 <Esav > ;  
and  [ they of ]  the plain <8219 sh@phelah > the Philistines 
<6430 P@lishtiy > : and they shall possess <3423 yarash > the 
fields <7704 sadeh > of Ephraim <0669 >Ephrayim > ,  and the 
fields <7704 sadeh > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > : and Benjamin 
<1144 Binyamiyn >  [ shall possess ]  Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > . 

 : 20 And the captivity <1546 galuwth > of this <2088 zeh > host 
<2426 cheyl > of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >  [ shall possess ]  that of the Canaanites <3669 
K@na<aniy > ,   [ even ]  unto Zarephath <6886 Tsar@phath > ;  
and the captivity <1546 galuwth > of Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  in Sepharad <5614 
C@pharad > ,  shall possess <0423 >alah > the cities <5892 <iyr 
> of the south <5045 negeb > . 

 : 21 And saviours <3467 yasha< > shall come <5927 <alah > up on 
mount <2022 har > Zion <6726 Tsiyown > to judge <8199 shaphat > 
the mount <2022 har > of Esau <6215 <Esav > ;  and the kingdom 
<4410 m@luwkah > shall be the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > .
