1The vision of Obadiah.

Edom’s Certain Judgment

This is what the Lord God has said about Edom:1 Gn 25:30; Ps 137:7; Is 21:11–12; 34:1–17; 63:1–6; Ezk 25:12–14; Am 1:11–12; Mal 1:2–5

We have heard a message from the Lord;1–4 Jr 49:14–16

an envoy has been sent1 Is 18:2; 30:4 among the nations:

“Rise up,1 Jr 6:4–5 and let’s go to war against her.”1 = Edom

2Look, I will make you insignificant2 Nm 24:18; Is 23:9

among the nations;

you will be deeply despised.

3Your arrogant heart has deceived you,3 Is 16:6

you who live in clefts of the rock3 Or in Sela; probably = Petra3 Probably Petra3 2Kg 14:7; 2Ch 25:12

in your home on the heights,

who say to yourself,

“Who can bring me down to the ground?” 3 Is 14:13–15

4Though you seem to soar4 Or to build high like an eagle4 Jb 20:6–7; Hab 2:9

and make your nest among the stars,4 Is 14:12–15

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

5If thieves came to you,5 Jr 49:9

if marauders by night —

how ravaged you would be! —

wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?

If grape harvesters came to you,

wouldn’t they leave a few grapes?5 Lv 19:10; 25:5,11

6How Esau will be pillaged,6 Jr 49:10

his hidden treasures searched out!6 Mal 1:2–3

7Everyone who has a treaty with you7 Ps 55:20; Jr 30:14; Am 1:9

will drive you to the border;

everyone at peace with you

will deceive and conquer you.

Those who eat your bread7 Ps 41:9

will set7 Some LXX mss, Sym, Tg, Vg; MT reads They will set your bread as a trap for you.

He will be unaware of it.7 Jr 49:7

8In that day —

this is the Lord’s declaration —

will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom8 Jb 4:1; 5:12–14

and those who understand

from the hill country of Esau?

9Teman,9 = a region or city in Edom9 Gn 36:11; 1Ch 1:45; Jb 2:11; Hab 3:3 your warriors9 Jr 49:22 will be terrified

so that everyone from the hill country of Esau

will be destroyed by slaughter.9 Is 34:5–8; 63:1–3; Jr 49:7,20; Ezk 25:13; Am 1:12; Ob 5

Edom’s Sins against Judah

10You will be covered with shame

and destroyed forever

because of violence done to your brother Jacob.10 Ezk 25:12–14; Jl 3:19; Am 1:11

11On the day you stood aloof,11 Ps 83:5–6; 137:7; Am 1:6,9

on the day strangers captured his wealth,11 Or forces

while foreigners entered his city gate

and cast lots for Jerusalem,11 Jl 3:3; Nah 3:10

you were just like one of them.11 2Ch 21:17; Ezk 35:10

12Do not12–14 Or You should not throughout vv. 12–14 gloat over your brother12 Mc 4:11; 7:10

in the day of his calamity;

do not rejoice over the people of Judah12 Ps 83:1–6; 137:7–9; Lm 4:21–22; Ezk 35:15; 36:5

in the day of their destruction;

do not boastfully mock12 Lit not make your mouth big12 Ps 31:18; Ezk 35:12

in the day of distress.12 Gn 35:3; Ps 50:15; Jr 16:19

13Do not enter my people’s city gate

in the day of their disaster.13 Ezk 35:5

Yes, you — do not gloat over their misery

in the day of their disaster,

and do not appropriate their possessions13 Ezk 35:10; 36:2–3

in the day of their disaster.

14Do not stand at the crossroads14 Hb obscure14 Is 16:3–4

to cut off their fugitives,

and do not hand over their survivors

in the day of distress.

Judgment of the Nations

15For the day of the Lord15 Jl 1:15; 2:1,11,31; Am 5:18,20 is near,

against all the nations.15 Is 13:6; Jl 3:14; Zph 1:7,14

As you have done,15 Jr 50:29; 51:56 it will be done to you;

what you deserve will return on your own head.15 Jr 50:15; Ezk 35:11

16As you have drunk on my holy mountain,16 Jr 49:12

so all the nations will drink continually.16 Is 51:22–23

They will drink and gulp down

and be as though they had never been.

17But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion,17 Is 4:2–3

and it will be holy;16–17 Is 66:20; Jl 2:32

the house of Jacob will dispossess17 Is 14:1–2; Am 9:11–15

those who dispossessed them.17 DSS, LXX, Syr, Vg, Tg; MT reads Jacob will possess its inheritance17 Ezk 36:2–5

18Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,18 Is 5:24; 9:18–19; Am 1:12; Zch 12:6

and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,

but the house of Esau will be stubble;

Jacob18 Lit they will set them on fire and consume Edom.18 Lit them

Therefore no survivor will remain18 Jr 11:23

of the house of Esau,

for the Lord has spoken.

Future Blessing for Israel

19People from the Negev will possess19 Is 11:14

the hill country of Esau;19 Am 9:11–12

those from the Judean foothills will possess

the land of the Philistines.19 Is 11:14

They19 = The house of Jacob will possess

the territories of Ephraim and Samaria,19 Jr 31:5; 32:44

while Benjamin will possess Gilead.

20The exiles of the Israelites who are in Halah20 Or of this host of the Israelites; Hb obscure

and who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath20 1Kg 17:9–10; Lk 4:26

as well as the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad

will possess the cities of the Negev.20 Jr 32:44; 33:13

21Saviors21 Or Those who have been delivered will ascend Mount Zion21 Neh 9:27; Is 4:5; 18:7; 24:23; Dn 2:44; Mc 4:7

to rule over the hill country of Esau,

and the kingdom will be the Lord’s.21 Ps 22:28; 47:7–9; 67:4; Zch 14:9
