The vision of Obadiah.

Edom’s Certain Judgment

This is what the Lord God has said about Edom:(A)

We have heard a message from the Lord;(B)
a messenger has been sent(C) among the nations:
“Rise up,(D) and let us go to war against her.”[a]
Look, I will make you insignificant(E)
among the nations;
you will be deeply despised.
Your presumptuous heart has deceived you,(F)
you who live in clefts of the rock[b][c](G)
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
“Who can bring me down to the ground?”(H)
Though you seem to soar[d] like an eagle(I)
and make your nest among the stars,(J)
even from there I will bring you down.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Edom’s Sins against Judah

10 You will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever
because of violence done to your brother Jacob.(A)
11 On the day you stood aloof,(B)
on the day strangers captured his wealth,[a]
while foreigners entered his gate
and cast lots for Jerusalem,(C)
you were just like one of them.(D)
12 Do not[b] gloat over your brother(E)
in the day of his calamity;
do not rejoice over the people of Judah(F)
in the day of their destruction;
do not boastfully mock[c](G)
in the day of distress.(H)
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
in the day of their disaster.(I)
Yes, you—do not gloat over their misery
in the day of their disaster
and do not appropriate their possessions(J)
in the day of their disaster.
14 Do not stand at the crossroads[d](K)
to cut off their fugitives,
and do not hand over their survivors
in the day of distress.

Judgment of the Nations

15 For the Day of the Lord(L) is near,
against all the nations.(M)
As you have done,(N) so it will be done to you;
what you deserve will return on your own head.(O)
16 As you have drunk on My holy mountain,(P)
so all the nations will drink continually.(Q)
They will drink and gulp down
and be as though they had never been.
17 But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion,(R)
and it will be holy;(S)
the house of Jacob will dispossess(T)
those who dispossessed them.[e](U)
