Obadiah 1 (kjv)

The vision^H2377 of Obadiah^H5662. Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 concerning Edom^H123; We have heard^H8085 a rumour^H8052 from the LORD^H3068, and an ambassador^H6735 is sent^H7971 among the heathen^H1471, Arise^H6965 ye, and let us rise up^H6965 against her in battle^H4421.²Behold, I have made^H5414 thee small^H6996 among the heathen^H1471: thou art greatly^H3966 despised^H959.

³The pride^H2087 of thine heart^H3820 hath deceived^H5377 thee, thou that dwellest^H7931 in the clefts^H2288 of the rock^H5553, whose habitation^H3427 is high^H4791; that saith^H559 in his heart^H3820, Who shall bring me down^H3381 to the ground^H776?⁴Though thou exalt^H1361 thyself as the eagle^H5404, and though thou set^H7760 thy nest^H7064 among the stars^H3556, thence will I bring thee down^H3381, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.⁵If thieves^H1590 came^H935 to thee, if robbers^H7703 by night^H3915, (how art thou cut off^H1820 would they not have stolen^H1589 till they had enough^H1767? if the grapegatherers^H1219 came^H935 to thee, would they not leave^H7604 some grapes^H5955?⁶How are the things of Esau^H6215 searched out^H2664 ! how are his hidden^H4710 things sought up^H1158 !⁷All the men^H582 of thy confederacy^H1285 have brought^H7971 thee even to the border^H1366: the men^H582 that were at peace^H7965 with thee have deceived^H5377 thee, and prevailed^H3201 against thee; they that eat thy bread^H3899 have laid^H7760 a wound^H4204 under thee: there is none understanding^H8394 in him.⁸Shall I not in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, even destroy^H6 the wise^H2450 men out of Edom^H123, and understanding^H8394 out of the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215?⁹And thy mighty^H1368 men, O Teman^H8487, shall be dismayed^H2865, to the end that every one^H376 of the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215 may be cut off^H3772 by slaughter^H6993.

¹⁰For thy violence^H2555 against thy brother^H251 Jacob^H3290 shame^H955 shall cover^H3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut off^H3772 for ever^H5769.¹¹In the day^H3117 that thou stoodest^H5975 on the other side, in the day^H3117 that the strangers^H2114 carried away captive^H7617 his forces^H2428, and foreigners^H5237 entered^H935 into his gates^H8179, and cast^H3032 lots^H1486 upon Jerusalem^H3389, even thou wast as one^H259 of them.¹²But thou shouldest not have looked^H7200 on the day^H3117 of thy brother^H251 in the day^H3117 that he became a stranger^H5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced^H8055 over the children^H1121 of Judah^H3063 in the day^H3117 of their destruction^H6; neither shouldest thou have spoken^H6310 proudly^H1431 in the day^H3117 of distress^H6869.¹³Thou shouldest not have entered^H935 into the gate^H8179 of my people^H5971 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343; yea, thou shouldest not have looked^H7200 on their affliction^H7451 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343, nor have laid^H7971 hands on their substance^H2428 in the day^H3117 of their calamity^H343;¹⁴Neither shouldest thou have stood^H5975 in the crossway^H6563, to cut off^H3772 those of his that did escape^H6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered up^H5462 those of his that did remain^H8300 in the day^H3117 of distress^H6869.¹⁵For the day^H3117 of the LORD^H3068 is near^H7138 upon all the heathen^H1471: as thou hast done^H6213, it shall be done^H6213 unto thee: thy reward^H1576 shall return^H7725 upon thine own head^H7218.¹⁶For as ye have drunk^H8354 upon my holy^H6944 mountain^H2022, so shall all the heathen^H1471 drink^H8354 continually^H8548, yea, they shall drink^H8354, and they shall swallow down^H3886, and they shall be as though they had not^H3808 been.

¹⁷But upon mount^H2022 Zion^H6726 shall be deliverance^H6413, and there shall be holiness^H6944; and the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290 shall possess^H3423 their possessions^H4180.¹⁸And the house^H1004 of Jacob^H3290 shall be a fire^H784, and the house^H1004 of Joseph^H3130 a flame^H3852, and the house^H1004 of Esau^H6215 for stubble^H7179, and they shall kindle^H1814 in them, and devour^H398 them; and there shall not be any remaining^H8300 of the house^H1004 of Esau^H6215; for the LORD^H3068 hath spoken^H1696 it.¹⁹And they of the south^H5045 shall possess^H3423 the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215; and they of the plain^H8219 the Philistines^H6430: and they shall possess^H3423 the fields^H7704 of Ephraim^H669, and the fields^H7704 of Samaria^H8111: and Benjamin^H1144 shall possess Gilead^H1568.²⁰And the captivity^H1546 of this host^H2426 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 shall possess that of the Canaanites^H3669, even unto Zarephath^H6886; and the captivity^H1546 of Jerusalem^H3389, which is in Sepharad^H5614, shall possess^H3423 the cities^H5892 of the south^H5045.²¹And saviours^H3467 shall come up^H5927 on mount^H2022 Zion^H6726 to judge^H8199 the mount^H2022 of Esau^H6215; and the kingdom^H4410 shall be the LORD'S^H3068.
