Obadiah:1:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Behold ,
I have made thee small among the heathen :
thou art greatly despised .
*
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 ?
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
How are the things of Esau searched out !
how are his hidden things sought up !
*
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 .
*
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 .
