Edom shall be a possession. Seir, its enemies, also will be a possession. This while Israel performs valiantly.

There will be those who escape in Mount Zion. It will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take (confiscate) their possessions. The house of Jacob will be a fire! The house of Joseph will be a flame! The house of Esau will be for stubble and they will burn among them, and devour them. There will be no survivors of the house of Esau: for Jehovah has spoken! And they of the South will possess the mount of Esau! They of the lowland, the Philistines, will possess the field of Ephraim and the field of Samaria! Benjamin will possess Gilead.


In that day it will be on the bells of the horses, HOLY UNTO JEHOVAH. And the pots in Jehovah's house will be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to Jehovah of Hosts! Every thing they sacrifice will be boiled in them. In that day there will be no more Canaanites in the House of Jehovah of Hosts.


There will be those who escape in Mount Zion. It will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take (confiscate) their possessions.


Jehovah of Hosts proclaims: The day is coming when all arrogant and evil people will burn like stubble. On that day they will burn up and there will be nothing left of them, either root or bough.

The vision of Obadiah. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah (YHWH) spoke concerning Edom: We have heard news from Jehovah. An ambassador is sent to the nations, saying, we must stand up against her (Edom) in battle.

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah. This was what Jehovah said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gathhepher.


Return, O Israel, to Jehovah your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to a rambling poem:

The prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

Years ago when Hezekiah was king of Judah, a prophet named Micah from the town of Moresheth said: 'Jehovah of Hosts says, Jerusalem will be plowed under and left in ruins. Thorns will cover the mountain where the Temple now stands.'

Woe to the oppressive city for she is rebellious and polluted (defiled)!

The vision of Obadiah. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah (YHWH) spoke concerning Edom: We have heard news from Jehovah. An ambassador is sent to the nations, saying, we must stand up against her (Edom) in battle. Behold, I have made you small among the nations! You are greatly despised. Your proud heart has deceived you. You reside in the refuge of the rock. Your habitation is high above others and you say in your heart: 'Who will bring me down to the ground?' read more.
Even though you place yourself as high as the eagle, and though you nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, said Jehovah! If thieves and robbers came to you by night you would be destroyed. Would they steel only till they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to you, would they leave some grapes for gleaning? How is Esau searched, his hidden treasures sought? All the men allied with you have brought you to the border. The men that were at peace with you have deceived you and prevailed against you! They eat your bread and lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him (Edom). Shall I not in that day, said Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and destroy understanding out of the mountain of Esau? Your mighty men, O Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that every one may be destroyed (removed) from the mountain of Esau by slaughter. You will be covered with shame for the violence done to your brother Jacob. You will be destroyed and disgraced for a very long time. In that day you stood on the other side! In that day strangers carried away his wealth. Foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem! It was as if you were one of them! Do not look on the day of your brother's disaster. Do not rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction! Do not speak proudly in the day of distress. Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity! Do not look on their affliction in the day of their tragedy! Do not loot their wealth in the day of their disaster. Do not stand in the way of those who escape and do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress. The Day of Jehovah draws near upon all the nations. It will be done to you just as you have done. Your dealings will return upon you head! Just as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink! Continually: Yes they will drink, and swallow down, and will be as though they had never existed. There will be those who escape in Mount Zion. It will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take (confiscate) their possessions. The house of Jacob will be a fire! The house of Joseph will be a flame! The house of Esau will be for stubble and they will burn among them, and devour them. There will be no survivors of the house of Esau: for Jehovah has spoken! And they of the South will possess the mount of Esau! They of the lowland, the Philistines, will possess the field of Ephraim and the field of Samaria! Benjamin will possess Gilead. The captives of this host of the children of Israel among the Canaanites, will possess Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem in Sepharad will possess the cities of the South. Saviors will come up on Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be Jehovah's.

I saw Jehovah standing beside the altar. He said: Strike the capitals that the thresholds may shake! Break them in pieces on the head of all of them and I will slay the last of them with the sword. Not one of them will get away. Not one of them will escape!

Behold! At that time I will bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem.

I bend as my bow, Judah. I filled the bow with Ephraim! I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece. I will make you like the sword of a mighty man.



Jehovah will surely comfort Zion. He will look with compassion on all her ruins. He will make her deserts like Eden and her wastelands like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness will be found in her along with thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

The sons of those who oppress you will bow in front of you. All who loathe you will bow at your feet. They will call you the city of Jehovah, Zion, the city of the Holy One of Israel.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For I am coming, and I will dwell in the midst of you, said Jehovah.

I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand (protection of my power, Holy Spirit). I set the heavens in place and laid the foundations of the earth. Yet I say to Zion: 'You are my people!'

Jehovah's ransomed will return. They will enter Zion with singing! Everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Awake, awake, O Zion, put on your strength. Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again. Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit enthroned, O Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace and who bring good tidings of good things! For they proclaim salvation and say to Zion: Your God reigns as king! (Hebrew: Elohiym' malak': God rules!) Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices. Together they shout for joy. They will see it with their own eyes when Jehovah returns to Zion.

There will be those who escape in Mount Zion. It will be holy, and the house of Jacob will take (confiscate) their possessions. The house of Jacob will be a fire! The house of Joseph will be a flame! The house of Esau will be for stubble and they will burn among them, and devour them. There will be no survivors of the house of Esau: for Jehovah has spoken!

The captives of this host of the children of Israel among the Canaanites, will possess Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem in Sepharad will possess the cities of the South. Saviors will come up on Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be Jehovah's.

Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! Shout (and sing) in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!

Jerusalem will be told in that day: Do not be afraid, O Zion! Do not loose courage.

The angel said: Call out, say, this is what Jehovah of Hosts has said: 'I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with intense ardor.

Pronounce again, Jehovah of hosts: 'My cities will again overflow with prosperity. Jehovah will comfort Zion and yet choose Jerusalem.'

Escape Zion! You who dwell with the daughter of Babylon should escape.

Jehovah of Hosts said: I am zealous for Zion with great ardor, and I am very zealous for her with great rage. Jehovah of Hosts said: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be called the city of truth and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, the holy mountain.
