Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:


Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:


For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, - and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

The vision of Obadiah, - Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom - A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war.

He, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, - according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.


Return thou, O Israel, unto Yahweh thy God, - for thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.

A prayer by Habakkuk the prophet, - in the manner of an Ode.

Then were moved to prophesy, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, the prophets, unto the Jews who were in Judaea and in Jerusalem, - in the name of the God of Israel, unto them.

Micah the Morashtite, was prophesying, in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, - and he spake unto all the people of Judah, saying, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts - Zion, as a field, shall be plowed, And, Jerusalem, into heaps of ruins, shall be turned, And, the mountain of the house, be like mounds in a jungle,

Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth!

The vision of Obadiah, - Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom - A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war. Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations - Despised art thou exceedingly! The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation, - that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? read more.
Though thou build high like an eagle, and though, among the stars, thou set thy nest, from thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh. If, thieves, had come to thee, if robbers by night - how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape-gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings? How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up! Up to the boundary, have they sent thee - All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee - the men thou wast wont to salute, - The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee - No understanding in him! Shall it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh, - That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? So shall thy mighty men, O Teman, be dismayed, - to the intent that every man, may be cut off, out of Mount Esau, by slaughter. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, - so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding. In the day when thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces, - and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast like one of them! Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah - in the day of their ruin, - nor enlarge thy mouth - in the day of distress: Do not enter into the gate of my people - in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery - in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust thy hands on his substance - in the day of his misfortune; Neither do thou stand at the parting of the way, to cut off his fugitives, - neither do thou deliver up his survivors - in the day of distress. For, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, - Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head. For, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, - Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been. But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, - and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions; And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, with the house of Esau for stubble, So shall they kindle upon them, and devour them, - and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau, for, Yahweh, hath spoken. Then shall they of the South possess Mount Esau, and they of the Lowlands, the Philistines, and they of the Mountain shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, - and Benjamin shall possess Gilead; And, they of the captivity of this force pertaining to the sons of Israel, shall possess that of the Canaanites, up to Zarephath, and, they of the captivity of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South. And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, - So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.

I saw My Lord stationed by the altar, and he said - Smite the capital - that the sills, may tremble, Yea break them off on the head of them all, and, the last of them, with the sword, will I slay, - He that fleeth of them, shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them, shall not make good his escape.

For lo! in those days, and at that time, - when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,


Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near: Her rulers in her midst, are roaring lions, - her judges, evening wolves, they have left nothing until morning! read more.
Her prophets, are reckless, treacherous men! her priests, have profaned the holy, done violence to law.

Now, therefore, for you, is this charge, O ye priests: - If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my Name, saith Yahweh of hosts, then will I send among you the curse, and will curse your blessings, - and indeed I have cursed them, because ye are not at all laying it to heart. Behold me! threatening, on your account, the seed, and I will scatter refuse upon your faces, the refuse of your festivals, - and one shall carry you away unto it; read more.
So shall ye know that I sent unto you this charge, - as being my covenant with Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts. My covenant, was with him, Life and Well-being, so I gave them to him - I as One to be revered - and he did revere me, - and, before my Name, dismayed, was he. The deliverance of truth, was in his mouth, and, perverseness, was not found in his lips, - In well-doing and in uprightness, walked he with me, and, multitudes, did he turn from iniquity. For, the lips of a priest, should keep knowledge, and, a deliverance, should men seek at his mouth, - for, the messenger of Yahweh of hosts, he is. But, ye, have departed out of the way, ye have caused multitudes to stumble at the deliverance, - ye have violated the covenant of Levi, saith Yahweh of hosts. Therefore, I also, will suffer you to be despised and of no account unto all the people, - in proportion as none of you have been keeping my ways, but have had respect to persons, in giving your deliverance.


For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace, - and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:

Alas! for them who are going down to Egypt for help, On horses, would rely, - And have trusted - In chariots - because they are many, and In horsemen, because they are very bold, But have not looked unto the Holy One of Israel, And onto Yahweh, have not sought. But, he also, is wise, and hath brought in calamity, And his own words, hath he not set aside, - Therefore will he rise up, Against the house of evil-doers, and Against the help of the workers of iniquity. Now, the Egyptians, are, men, and not, GOD, And their horses, flesh, and not, spirit; When, Yahweh, shall stretch out his hand, Then I he that is giving help, shall stumble And I he that is receiving help shall fall, And together, shall all of them vanish!



The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous. If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust? And, if, in what was another's, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?


An abomination to the righteous, is the man of perversity, and, an abomination to the lawless, is a man of straightforward way.

Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near: Her rulers in her midst, are roaring lions, - her judges, evening wolves, they have left nothing until morning! read more.
Her prophets, are reckless, treacherous men! her priests, have profaned the holy, done violence to law. Yahweh, the Righteous One, is in her midst, he dealeth not perversely, - Morning by morning, his justice, bringeth he forth the light, He is not found lacking, but the perverse man knoweth no shame.
