\s1 The Destruction of Edom
|
||
\r (Jeremiah 49:7–22)
|
||
\b
|
||
\m
|
||
\v 1 This is the vision of Obadiah:
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1 This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom—
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1 We have heard a message from the LORD;
|
||
\q2 an envoy has been sent among the nations
|
||
\q1 to say, “Rise up,
|
||
\q2 and let us go to battle against her!”—
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
|
||
\q2 you will be deeply despised.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you,
|
||
\q2 O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks \f + \fr 1:3 \ft Or in the retreats of Sela\f*
|
||
\q2 whose habitation is the heights,
|
||
\q1 who say in your heart,
|
||
\q2 ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 4 Though you soar like the eagle
|
||
\q2 and make your nest among the stars,
|
||
\q2 even from there I will bring you down,”
|
||
\qr declares the LORD.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 5 “If thieves came to you,
|
||
\q2 if robbers by night—
|
||
\q1 oh, how you will be ruined—
|
||
\q2 would they not steal only what they wanted?
|
||
\q1 If grape gatherers came to you,
|
||
\q2 would they not leave some gleanings?
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 6 But how Esau will be pillaged,
|
||
\q2 his hidden treasures sought out!
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 7 All the men allied with you
|
||
\q2 will drive you to the border;
|
||
\q1 the men at peace with you
|
||
\q2 will deceive and overpower you.
|
||
\q1 Those who eat your bread \f + \fr 1:7 \ft Hebrew does not include Those who eat.\f*
|
||
\q2 will set a trap for you
|
||
\q2 without your awareness of it.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 8 In that day, declares the LORD,
|
||
\q2 will I not destroy the wise men of Edom
|
||
\q1 and the men of understanding
|
||
\q2 in the mountains of Esau?
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 9 Then your mighty men, O Teman,
|
||
\q2 will be terrified,
|
||
\q1 so that everyone in the mountains of Esau
|
||
\q2 will be cut down in the slaughter.
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
|
||
\q2 you will be covered with shame
|
||
\q2 and cut off forever.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 11 On the day you stood aloof
|
||
\q2 while strangers carried off his wealth
|
||
\q1 and foreigners entered his gate
|
||
\q2 and cast lots for Jerusalem,
|
||
\q2 you were just like one of them.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 12 But you should not gloat in that day,
|
||
\q2 your brother’s day of misfortune,
|
||
\q1 nor rejoice over the people of Judah
|
||
\q2 in the day of their destruction,
|
||
\q1 nor boast proudly \f + \fr 1:12 \ft Hebrew nor enlarge your mouth\f*
|
||
\q2 in the day of their distress.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 13 You should not enter the gate of My people
|
||
\q2 in the day of their disaster,
|
||
\q1 nor gloat over their affliction
|
||
\q2 in the day of their disaster,
|
||
\q1 nor loot their wealth
|
||
\q2 in the day of their disaster.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 14 Nor should you stand at the crossroads
|
||
\q2 to cut off their fugitives,
|
||
\q1 nor deliver up their survivors
|
||
\q2 in the day of their distress.
|
||
\s1 The Deliverance of Israel
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 15 For the Day of the LORD is near
|
||
\q2 for all the nations.
|
||
\q1 As you have done, it will be done to you;
|
||
\q2 your recompense will return upon your own head.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 16 For as you drank on My holy mountain,
|
||
\q2 so all the nations will drink continually.
|
||
\q1 They will drink and gulp it down;
|
||
\q2 they will be as if they had never existed.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 17 But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance,
|
||
\q2 and it will be holy,
|
||
\q1 and the house of Jacob
|
||
\q2 will reclaim their possession.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,
|
||
\q2 and the house of Joseph a burning flame;
|
||
\q1 but the house of Esau will be stubble—
|
||
\q2 Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it.
|
||
\q1 Therefore no survivor will remain
|
||
\q2 from the house of Esau.”
|
||
\qr For the LORD has spoken.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 19 Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau;
|
||
\q2 those from the foothills \f + \fr 1:19 \ft Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judea\f* will possess the land of the Philistines.
|
||
\q1 They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,
|
||
\q2 and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 20 And the exiles of this host of the Israelites
|
||
\q2 will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath;
|
||
\q1 and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
|
||
\q2 will possess the cities of the Negev.
|
||
\q1
|
||
\v 21 The deliverers will ascend \f + \fr 1:21 \ft Or The deliverers will go up from; LXX Those being delivered will go up\f* Mount Zion
|
||
\q2 to rule over the mountains of Esau.
|
||
\b
|
||
\q1 And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
