The sins of Edom and the restoration and happiness of Israel - Obadiah


The sins and punishment of Edom
1 - The vision of Obadiah: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard the preaching of the LORD, and an emissary has been sent to the Gentiles, saying, Arise, and let us rise up against it for war.
2 - Behold, I have made thee small among the Gentiles; You are very despised.
3 - The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, as that which dwelleth in the clefts of the rocks, in her high house, which saith in her heart, Who shall bring me down to the earth?
4 - Thou shalt rise as an eagle, and set thy nest among the stars, from thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
5 - If thieves, or robbers come to you at night (how are you destroyed!), Would they not steal what was enough for them? If the grape pickers came to you, would not they leave some grapes?
6 - How the goods of Esau were far fetched! How their hidden treasures were investigated!
7 - All thy confederates have taken thee to the frontier; those who enjoy your peace deceived you, prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have put a trap under you; there is no understanding in him.
8 - Shall it not be in that day, saith the LORD, that I will destroy the wise men of Edom, and the understanding of the mount of Esau?
9 - And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be afraid, that they be cut off from the mount of Esau by the slaughter.
10 - Because of the violence done to thy brother Jacob, the confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou didst confront him, in the day that strangers took captive his army, and strangers entered through his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, thou wast as one of them.
12 - But thou shalt not look with favor upon thy brother's day in the day of his misfortune; nor rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor widen thy mouth in the day of trouble;
13 - Neither go in by the gate of my people, in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shalt not look satisfied in the day of his calamity; nor lay hold of their goods in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither stop at the crossroads, to cut off those that escape; nor deliver up those that remain unto him in the day of trouble.
15 - For the day of the LORD is near, over all the nations; as thou hast done, so shall it be done unto thee; your reward will return on your head.
16 - For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the Gentiles drink continually. they will drink, and they will drink, and they will be as if they had never been.

The Restoration and Happiness of Israel
17 - But on Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and he shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their inheritance.
18 - And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau straw; and they shall burn themselves against them, and consume them; and there shall be none left of the house of Esau: for the LORD hath spoken it.
19 - And those of the south shall possess the mount of Esau, and of the plains, the Philistines; and the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 - And the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess the Canaanites unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, which are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 - And saviors shall mount up to mount Zion, to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
