Obadiyah 1:6-21 - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,

Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him!

Is it not in that day -- an affirmation of YHWH, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?

And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.

For slaughter, for violence to thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off -- to the age.

In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou -- as one of them!

And thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his estrangement, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a day of distress.

Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,

Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.

For near -- the day of YHWH, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on thine own head.

For -- as ye have drunk on My holy mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.

And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been set-apart, And the house of Jacob have possessed their possessions.

And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For YHWH hath spoken.

And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.

And the Removed of the sons of Israel's Power, That are with the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the Removed of Jerusalem that are with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.

And gone up have saviors on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to YHWH!'
