Obadiah 10-21

Edom’s Violence Against Jacob

10 aBecause of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
band you shall be cut off forever.
11 cOn the day that you stood aloof,
don the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
eand cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 fBut do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
gdo not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
hdo not boast
Hebrew  do not enlarge your mouth

in the day of distress.
13 jDo not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
kdo not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
ldo not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 mDo not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.

The Day of the Lord Is Near

15 For nthe day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
oAs you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 pFor as you have drunk on qmy holy mountain,
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.
17 rBut in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
and it shall be holy,
sand the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
18 tThe house of Jacob shall be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau ustubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
vand there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,

for the Lord has spoken.

The Kingdom of the Lord

19 Those of wthe Negeb xshall possess yMount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah shall possess zthe land of the Philistines;
they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of aaSamaria,
and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20The exiles of this host of the people of Israel
shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as abZarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
21 acSaviors shall go up to Mount Zion
to rule adMount Esau,
and aethe kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
