OBADIAH
[I
- The men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee;
- They that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee:
- There is none understanding in him.
- Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord,
- Even destroy the wise men out of Edom,
- And understanding out of the mount of Esau?
- And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
- To the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
- For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee,
- And thou shalt be cut off for ever.
- In the day that thou stoodest on the other side,
- In the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces,
- And foreigners entered into his gates,
- And cast lots upon Jerusalem,
- Even thou wast as one of them.
- But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger;
- Neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction;
- Neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
- Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity;
