Obadiah Chapter 1 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

Introduction

Jonah

¹ This is the vision that Lord Yahweh revealed to Obadiah concerning Edom. We have heard a report from Yahweh: “I have sent a messenger throughout the nations, saying, ‘Rise up! Let us march against this people. Prepare for war!’

² “Behold, I have reduced you to the least among the nations. You are now utterly despised.

³ Your proud heart has deceived you; you who are perched in the hidden places of the rock, whose home is in the heights. You think to yourself, ‘Who can ever topple me to the ground?’

⁴ Though you soar like an eagle, and your nest is nestled among the stars, I am more than able to bring you down from there. I, Yahweh, have spoken.” Edom Annihilated

⁵ “When thieves come at night to rob your home, wouldn’t they only steal the things they wanted? When people gather grapes, wouldn’t they miss a few and leave some gleanings behind? But you, Edom—your enemies will totally destroy you!

⁶ How Esau’s descendants will be looted, their hidden treasures sought out and ransacked!

⁷ Your allies will deceive you. They will overpower you and chase you off your homeland. Your ‘trusted friends’ will lay a trap for you, and you’ll have no clue it’s coming.

⁸ In that day, will I not destroy all the wise men of Edom and erase all their pseudo-intelligence from the mountains of Esau? I, Yahweh, have spoken.

⁹ Teman, all your brave warriors will be shattered so that everyone will be destroyed from Esau’s mountain.” Edom’s Guilt

¹⁰ “Shame will cover you and you will be annihilated because you violently slaughtered your relatives, the Israelites.

¹¹ You deserted Israel at her time of need. On that day of infamy, you stood aloof and did nothing as foreigners broke through the city gates of Jerusalem and divided the city among themselves by casting lots. Strangers carried off all her treasures, and you were as one with the invaders.

¹² Do not gloat over your relatives on the day of their misfortune. Do not rejoice over the people of Judah on the day of their ruin. Do not boast that they suffered such anguish.

¹³ You should not have entered my people’s city on their day of calamity. You should not have feasted your eyes on their suffering on their day of misery. You should not have seized their wealth on their day of sorrow.

¹⁴ You should not have waited at the crossroads to cut off those who tried to escape. Why did you hand over their survivors on the day of their distress?” God Will Judge the Nations

¹⁵ “The day of Yahweh is drawing near for all the nations. As you have done to others, so will it be done to you: you will be paid back for all that your deeds deserve.

¹⁶ “Just as you have drunk and caroused on my sacred hill, so all the surrounding nations will drink continually from my bitter cup of judgment. They will drink and drink and gulp it down, but they will stagger and be destroyed.” Israel Will Defeat Her Enemies

¹⁷ “But on Mount Zion a remnant will escape, for that place will be a reconsecrated sanctuary. And Jacob’s tribes will possess what is rightfully theirs by inheritance.

¹⁸ Then the people of Judah will be a fire, the people of Israel a flame, and the people of Esau like stubble. They will set them on fire and consume them, and there will be no survivors from Esau’s descendants. I, Yahweh, have spoken.” The New Israel

¹⁹ People from southern Judah will capture Edom; those from the western foothills will occupy Philistia; Israelites will take back the territory of Ephraim and Samaria; and the people of Benjamin will possess Gilead.

²⁰ The company of exiles from among the people of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath while the exiles from Jerusalem now in Sardis will occupy the cities of southern Judah.

²¹ Victorious deliverers will go out from Mount Zion to rule over the land of Edom, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.
