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.

[Jehovah God the Almighty speaks to the priests:] This command is for you. You must honor me by your actions. If you will not listen to what I say, and give glory and honor to my name, I will bring a curse on you. I will put a curse on the things you receive for your support. I have already put a curse on you. Your blessings are cursed already because you do not take my command seriously.

You will know I sent this commandment to you! This way my covenant with Levi will continue, said Jehovah of Hosts. My covenant was with him [Levi]. It was of life and peace. I gave them to him that he might reverence me. He respected me and stood in awe of my name. The law of truth was in his mouth. Unrighteousness was not found in his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness. He turned many away from iniquity. The priests should teach the true knowledge of God. They are the messengers of Jehovah of Hosts. Therefore the people should learn (my will) the law from them. You priests have turned away from the right path. Your teaching has led many to do wrong. You have corrupted the covenant I made with Levi (you). I caused you to be despised and low before all the people. You are contemptible and do not keep my ways. You show partiality when applying the law.

Trust » Those that do not trust in the lord
Woe to the oppressive city for she is rebellious and polluted (defiled)! She did not obey the voice of Jehovah. She would not accept correction (discipline). She did not trust Jehovah and draw close to her God.
How horrible it will be for those who go to Egypt for help! Cursed are those who rely on very strong warhorses, who depend on many chariots. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel. They do not seek Jehovah. He is wise and can bring about disaster. He does not take back his words. He rises against wicked people and against those who help troublemakers. The Egyptians are humans, not God. Their horses are flesh and blood, not spirit. Jehovah will stretch out his powerful hand (extend his power). The one who gives help will stumble. The one who receives help will fall. Both will die together.
