: 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 > .
