1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith# the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard# a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent# among the heathen, Arise# ye, and let us rise up# against her in battle.
			2	Behold, I have made# thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised# .
			3	The pride of thine heart hath deceived# thee, thou that dwellest# in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation# is high; that saith# in his heart, Who shall bring me down# to the ground?
			4	Though thou exalt# thyself as the eagle, and though thou set# thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down# , saith# the LORD.
			5	If thieves came# to thee, if robbers# by night, (how art thou cut off# !) would they not have stolen# till they had enough? if the grapegatherers# came# to thee, would they not leave# some grapes? [some...: or, gleanings?]
			6	How are the things of Esau searched out# ! how are his hidden things sought up# !
			7	All the men of thy confederacy have brought# thee even to the border: 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. [that were...: Heb. of thy peace] [they...: Heb. the men of thy bread] [in him: or, of it]
			8	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?
			9	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.
			10	For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover# thee, and thou shalt be cut off# for ever.
			11	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. [captive...: or, his substance]
			12	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. [spoken...: Heb. magnified thy mouth]
			13	Thou shouldest not have entered# into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked# on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid# hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; [substance: or, forces]
			14	Neither shouldest thou have stood# in the crossway, to cut off# those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up# those of his that did remain in the day of distress. [delivered up: or, shut up]
			15	For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done# , it shall be done# unto thee: thy reward shall return# upon thine own head.
			16	For as ye have drunk# upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink# continually, yea, they shall drink# , and they shall swallow down# , and they shall be as though they had not been. [swallow...: or, sup up]
			17	But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess# their possessions. [deliverance: or, they that escape] [there...: or, it shall be holy]
			18	And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle# in them, and devour# them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken# it .
			19	And they of the south shall possess# the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess# the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
			20	And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess# the cities of the south. [which...: or, shall possess that which is in]
			21	And saviours# shall come up# on mount Zion to judge# the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
