Obadiah 1 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The vision ^H2377 of Obadiah ^H5662.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559 concerning Edom ^H123—

We have heard ^H8085 a report ^H8052 from the LORD ^H3068,

And a messenger ^H6735 has been sent ^H7971 among the nations ^H1471 saying,

“Arise ^H6965, and let’s go ^H6965 up ^H6965 against ^H5921 her for battle ^H4421”—

“Behold ^H2009, I will make ^H5414 you small ^H6996 among the nations ^H1471;

You are ^H959 greatly ^H3966 despised ^H959.

“The arrogance ^H2087 of your heart ^H3820 has deceived ^H5378 you,

The one who lives ^H7931 in the clefts ^H2288 of [fn]the rock ^H5553,

On the height ^H4791 of his dwelling ^H7675 place ^H7675,

Who says ^H559 in his heart ^H3820,

‘Who ^H4310 will bring ^H3381 me down ^H3381 to earth ^H776?’

“Though ^H518 you make ^H1361 your home high ^H1361 like the eagle ^H5404,

Though ^H518 you set ^H7760 your nest ^H7064 among ^H996 the stars ^H3556,

From there ^H8033 I will bring ^H3381 you down ^H3381,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“If ^H518 thieves ^H1590 came ^H935 to you,

If ^H518 [fn]robbers ^H7703 by night ^H3915—

Oh ^H349 how ^H349 you will be ruined ^H1820!—

Would they not steal ^H1589 only [fn]until they had enough ^H1767?

If ^H518 grape-pickers ^H1219 came ^H935 to you,

Would they not leave ^H7604 some gleanings ^H5955?

“Oh ^H349 how ^H349 Esau ^H6215 will be searched ^H2664,

And his hidden ^H4710 treasures ^H4710 searched ^H1158 out ^H1158!

“All ^H3605 the people ^H376 [fn]allied ^H1285 with you

Will send ^H7971 you to the border ^H1366,

And the people ^H376 at peace ^H7965 with you

Will deceive ^H5378 you and overpower ^H3201 you.

They who eat your bread ^H3899

Will set ^H7760 an ambush ^H4204 for you.

(There ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 understanding ^H8394 [fn]in him.)

“Will I not on that day ^H3117,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“Eliminate ^H6 wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 from Edom ^H123,

And understanding ^H8394 from the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215?

“Then your warriors ^H1368 will be filled ^H2865 with ^H2865 terror ^H2865, Teman ^H8487,

So ^H4616 that ^H4616 everyone ^H376 will be eliminated ^H3772 from the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215 by murder ^H6993.

“Because ^H4480 of violence ^H2555 to your brother ^H251 Jacob ^H3290,

Shame ^H955 will cover ^H3680 you,

And you will be eliminated ^H3772 forever ^H5769.

“On the day ^H3117 that you stood ^H5975 aloof ^H4480 H5048,

On the day ^H3117 that strangers ^H2114 carried ^H7617 off ^H7617 his wealth ^H2428,

And foreigners ^H5237 entered ^H935 his gate ^H8179

And cast ^H3032 lots ^H1486 for Jerusalem ^H3389—

You too ^H1571 were as one ^H259 of them.

“Do not [fn]gloat ^H7200 over your brother’s ^H251 day ^H3117,

The day ^H3117 of his misfortune ^H5235.

And do not rejoice ^H8055 over the sons ^H1121 of Judah ^H3063

On the day ^H3117 of their destruction ^H6;

Yes, do not [fn]boast ^H1431 H6310

On the day ^H3117 of their distress ^H6869.

“Do not enter ^H935 the gate ^H8179 of My people ^H5971

On the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343.

You indeed ^H1571, do not [fn]gloat ^H7200 over their catastrophe ^H7451

On the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343.

And do not lay ^H7971 a hand on their wealth ^H2428

On the day ^H3117 of their disaster ^H343.

“Do not stand ^H5975 at the crossroads ^H6563

To eliminate ^H3772 their survivors ^H6412;

And do not hand ^H5462 over ^H5462 their refugees ^H8300

On the day ^H3117 of their distress ^H6869.

“For the day ^H3117 of the LORD ^H3068 is near ^H7138 for all ^H3605 the nations ^H1471.

Just ^H834 as ^H834 you have done ^H6213, it will be done ^H6213 to you.

Your dealings ^H1576 will return ^H7725 on your own head ^H7218.

“For just ^H834 as ^H834 you drank ^H8354 on My holy ^H6944 mountain ^H2022,

All ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 will drink ^H8354 continually ^H8548.

They will drink ^H8354 [fn]to ^H3886 the ^H3886 last ^H3886 drop ^H3886,

And become ^H1961 as if they had never ^H3808 existed ^H1961.

“But on Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726 there will be those who ^H6413 escape ^H6413,

And it will be holy ^H6944.

And the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290 will [fn]possess ^H3423 their [fn]property ^H4180.

“Then the house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290 will be a fire ^H784,

And the house ^H1004 of Joseph ^H3130 a flame ^H3852;

But the house ^H1004 of Esau ^H6215 will be like stubble ^H7179.

And they will set ^H1814 [fn]them on ^H1814 fire ^H1814 and consume ^H398 [fn]them,

So that there will be no ^H3808 survivor ^H8300 of the house ^H1004 of Esau ^H6215,”

For the LORD ^H3068 has spoken ^H1696.

Then those of the [fn]Negev ^H5045 will [fn]possess ^H3423 the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215,

And those of the [fn]Shephelah ^H8219 the Philistine ^H6430 plain;

Also, they will [fn]possess ^H3423 the territory ^H7704 of Ephraim ^H669 and the territory ^H7704 of Samaria ^H8111,

And Benjamin ^H1144 the territory of Gilead ^H1568.

And the exiles ^H1546 of this ^H2088 army ^H2428 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,

Who ^H834 are among the Canaanites ^H3669 as far ^H5704 as Zarephath ^H6886,

And the exiles ^H1546 of Jerusalem ^H3389 who ^H834 are in Sepharad ^H5614,

Will [fn]possess ^H3423 the cities ^H5892 of the Negev ^H5045.

[fn]The deliverers ^H3467 will ascend ^H5927 Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726

To judge ^H8199 the mountain ^H2022 of Esau ^H6215,

And the kingdom ^H4410 will be the LORD’S ^H3068.
