New American Standard Bible

²³And the Lord said to her,

“^(A)Two nations are in your womb;
^(B)And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people will be stronger than the other;
And ^(C)the older will serve the younger.”

²⁴When her days leading to the delivery were at an end, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵Now the first came out red, ^(D)all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. ²⁶Afterward his brother came out with ^(E)his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so ^(F)he was named ^[a]Jacob; and Isaac was ^(G)sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

²⁷When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a ^[b]civilized man, ^(H)living in tents. ²⁸Now Isaac loved Esau because ^[c]he had ^(I)a taste for game; ^(J)but Rebekah loved Jacob. ²⁹When Jacob had cooked a ^(K)stew one day, Esau came in from the field and he was exhausted; ³⁰and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a mouthful of ^[d]that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.” Therefore he was called ^[e]Edom by name. ³¹But Jacob said, “^[f]First sell me your ^(L)birthright.” ³²Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” ³³And Jacob said, “^[g]First swear to me”; so he swore an oath to him, and ^(M)sold his birthright to Jacob. ³⁴Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and got up and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Numbers 20:14-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to ^(A)the king of Edom to say, “This is what your brother Israel has said: ‘You ^(B)know all the hardship that has ^[a]overtaken us; ¹⁵that our fathers went down to Egypt, and we stayed in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians treated us and our fathers badly. ¹⁶But ^(C)when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice and sent ^(D)an angel, and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory. ¹⁷Please ^(E)let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king’s road, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.’”

¹⁸^(F)Edom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through ^[b]us, or I will come out with the sword against you.” ¹⁹Again, the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the road, and if I and ^(G)my livestock do drink any of your water, ^(H)then I will ^[c]pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, ^[d]nothing more.” ²⁰But he said, “^(I)You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against him with a heavy ^[e]force and a strong hand. ²¹^(J)So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; ^(K)then Israel turned away from him.

Obadiah

New American Standard Bible

Edom Will Be Humbled

¹The vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Lord ^[a]God says concerning ^(A)Edom—

^(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And a ^(C)messenger has been sent among the nations saying,
“^(D)Arise, and let’s go up against her for battle”—
²“Behold, I will make you ^(E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
³The ^(F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of ^[b]the ^(G)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
‘^(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
⁴Though you ^(I)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the ^(J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
⁵“If ^(K)thieves came to you,
If ^[c]robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only ^[d]until they had enough?
If grape-pickers came to you,
^(L)Would they not leave some gleanings?
⁶Oh how Esau will be ^(M)searched,
And his hidden treasures searched out!
⁷All the ^(N)people ^[e]allied with you
Will send you to the border,
And the people 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.)
⁸Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“^(Q)Eliminate wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
⁹Then your ^(R)warriors will be filled with terror, ^(S)Teman,
So that everyone will be ^(T)eliminated from the mountain of Esau by murder.

¹⁰“Because of ^(U)violence to your brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you,
^(V)And you will be eliminated forever.
¹¹On 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.
¹²^(Z)Do not ^[g]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And ^(AA)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, ^(AB)do not ^[h]boast
On the day of their distress.
¹³Do not enter the gate of My people
On the ^(AC)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not ^[i]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not ^(AD)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
¹⁴Do not ^(AE)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

¹⁵“For the ^(AF)day of the Lord is near for all the nations.
^(AG)Just as you have done, it will be done to you.
Your ^(AH)dealings will return on your own head.
¹⁶For just as you ^(AI)drank on ^(AJ)My holy mountain,
All the nations ^(AK)will drink continually.
They will drink ^[j]to the last drop,
And become as if they had never existed.
¹⁷But on Mount ^(AL)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will ^[k]^(AM)possess their ^[l]property.
¹⁸Then the house of Jacob will be a ^(AN)fire,
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be like stubble.
And they will set ^[m]them on fire and consume ^[n]them,
So that there will be ^(AO)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
¹⁹Then those of the ^[o]Negev will ^[p]^(AP)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the ^[q]Shephelah the ^(AQ)Philistine plain;
Also, ^(AR)they will ^[r]possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin the territory of Gilead.
²⁰And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as ^(AS)Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad,
Will ^[s]possess the ^(AT)cities of the Negev.
²¹^[t]The ^(AU)deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the ^(AV)kingdom will be the Lord’s.

Prophecy against Edom

⁷Concerning ^(A)Edom.
This is what the Lord of armies says:
“Is there no longer any ^(B)wisdom in ^(C)Teman?
Has good advice been lost by the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
⁸Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths,
You inhabitants of ^(D)Dedan,
For I ^[a]will bring the ^(E)disaster of Esau upon him
At the time I ^[b]punish him.
⁹^(F)If grape pickers came to you,
Would they not leave gleanings?
If thieves came by night,
They would destroy only what was sufficient for them.
¹⁰But I have ^(G)stripped Esau bare,
I have uncovered his hiding places
So that he will not be able to conceal himself;
His ^[c]offspring have been destroyed along with his ^[d]brothers
And his neighbors, and ^(H)he no longer exists.
¹¹Leave your ^[e]^(I)orphans behind, I will keep them alive;
And let your ^(J)widows trust in Me.”

¹²For this is what the Lord says: “Behold, those ^[f]who were not sentenced to drink the ^(K)cup will certainly drink it, so are you the one who will be held ^(L)completely blameless? You will not be held blameless, but you will certainly drink it. ¹³For I have ^(M)sworn by Myself,” declares the Lord, “that ^(N)Bozrah will become an ^(O)object of horror, a disgrace, a wasteland, and a curse; and all its cities will become permanent ruins.”

¹⁴I have ^(P)heard a message from the Lord,
And a ^(Q)messenger is being sent among the nations, saying,
“^(R)Gather yourselves together and come against her,
And rise up for battle!”
¹⁵“For behold, I have made you small among the nations,
Despised among people.
¹⁶As for the terror you cause,
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
You who live in the clefts of ^[g]the ^(S)rock,
Who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as ^(T)high as an eagle’s,
I will ^(U)bring you down from there,” declares the Lord.

¹⁷“Edom will become an ^(V)object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be appalled and will ^[h]^(W)hiss at all its wounds. ¹⁸Like the ^(X)overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “^(Y)no one will live there, nor will ^[i]anyone of mankind reside in it. ¹⁹^(Z)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the ^(AA)thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will chase him away from it, and I will appoint over it whoever is ^(AB)chosen. For who is ^(AC)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd ^(AD)who can stand against Me?”

²⁰Therefore hear the ^(AE)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Edom, and His purposes which He has in mind against the inhabitants of Teman: they will certainly drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; He will certainly make their pasture ^(AF)desolate because of them. ²¹The ^(AG)earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the ^[j]Red Sea. ²²Behold, ^[k]He will mount up and ^(AH)swoop like an eagle, and spread out His wings ^[l]against Bozrah; and the ^(AI)hearts of the warriors of Edom on that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

Prophecy against Mount Seir

35 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, set your face against ^(A)Mount Seir, and prophesy against it ³and say to it, ‘This is what the Lord ^[a]God says:

“Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir,
And I will ^(B)reach out with My hand against you
And make you a ^(C)desolation and a waste.
⁴I will ^(D)turn your cities to ruins,
And you will become a desolation.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.

⁵Since you have had everlasting ^(E)hostility and have turned over the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of the ^[b]^(F)punishment of the end, ⁶therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will certainly ^[c]doom you to ^(G)bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you. ⁷I will make Mount Seir a waste and a desolation and I will eliminate from it one who passes through and returns. ⁸I will ^(H)fill its mountains with its slain; those killed by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines. ⁹I will make you a permanent ^(I)desolation, and your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

¹⁰“Since you have ^(J)said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess ^[d]them,’ although the ^(K)Lord was there, ¹¹therefore as I live,” declares the Lord God, “I will deal with you ^(L)according to your anger and according to your envy which you displayed because of your hatred for them; so I will ^(M)make Myself known among them when I judge you. ¹²Then you will know ^[e]that I, the Lord, have heard all your insults which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel saying, ‘They are desolate; they have been ^(N)given to us as food.’ ¹³And you have ^[f]^(O)spoken arrogantly against Me and have multiplied your words against Me; ^(P)I Myself have heard it.” ¹⁴This is what the Lord God says: “As all the ^(Q)earth rejoices, I will make you a desolation. ¹⁵As you ^(R)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel because it was desolate, ^(S)so I will do to you. You will be a ^(T)desolation, Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”’
