NASB

Obadiah 1:1-14

Edom Will Be Humbled

^{Tools
1} The vision of Obadiah.
Thus says the Lord ^(a)God concerning ^(A)Edom—

^(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And an ^(C)envoy has been sent among the nations saying,
“^(D)Arise and let us go against her for battle”—

^{Tools
2}

“Behold, I will make you ^(E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.

^{Tools
3}

“The ^(F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of ^(b)the ^(G)rock,
In the loftiness of your dwelling place,
Who say in your heart,
‘^(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’

^{Tools
4}

“Though you ^(I)build high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the ^(J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

^{Tools
5}

“If ^(K)thieves came to you,
If ^(c)robbers by night—
O how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only ^(d)until they had enough?
If grape gatherers came to you,
^(L)Would they not leave some gleanings?

^{Tools
6}

“O how Esau will be ^(M)ransacked,
And his hidden treasures searched out!

^{Tools
7}

“All the ^(N)men ^(e)allied with you
Will send you forth to the border,
And the men at peace with you
Will deceive you and overpower you.
They who eat your ^(O)bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is ^(P)no understanding ^(f)in him.)

“Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“^(Q)Destroy wise men from Edom
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?

^{Tools
9}

“Then your ^(R)mighty men will be dismayed, O ^(S)Teman,
So that everyone may be ^(T)cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

^{Tools
10}

“Because of ^(U)violence to your brother Jacob,
^(g)You will be covered with shame,
^(V)And you will be cut off forever.

^{Tools
11}

“On the day that you ^(W)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And ^(X)cast lots for Jerusalem—
^(Y)You too were as one of them.

^{Tools
12}

“^(Z)Do not ^(h)gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And ^(AA)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Yes, ^(AB)do not ⁽ⁱ⁾boast
In the day of their distress.

^{Tools
13}

“Do not enter the gate of My people
In the ^(AC)day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not ^(j)gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not ^(AD)loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.

^{Tools
14}

“Do not ^(AE)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down their fugitives;
And do not imprison their survivors
In the day of their distress.
