Edom Will Be Humbled

The vision of Obadiah.

Thus says the Lord GOD concerning 1aEdom—bWe have heard a report from the LORD,And an cambassador has been sent among the nations, saying,“2dArise, and let us rise up against Edom for battle with the LORD as commander!” Ps 137:7; Is 34:1-15; 63:1-6; Jer 49:7-22; Ezek 25:12-14

2 “Behold Edom, I shall humiliate you and make you asmall among the nations;You are greatly despised. Ezek 353 “The apride and arrogance of your heart have deceived you,You who live in the clefts and lofty security of the brock (Sela) ,Whose dwelling place is high,Who say boastfully in your heart,‘cWho will bring me down to earth?’4 “Though you abuild your nest on high like the eagle,Though you set your nest among the bstars,I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.5 “If athieves came to you,If robbers by night—How you will be ruined!—Would they not steal only until they had enough?If grape gatherers came to you,bWould they not leave some grapes for gleaning? Jer 49:96 “How Esau (Edom) ashall be ransacked by men who come to ravage with divine approval!How his hidden treasures shall be searched out!7 “All the amen allied with youShall send you on your way to the border;The men who were at peace with youShall deceive you and overpower you;Those who eat your bbread those you trustShall set a hostile ambush for you.(There is cno understanding of it.)8 “Will I not on that day,” says the LORD,“aDestroy the wise men from Edom removing all wisdomAnd understanding from the 1mountain of Esau?9 “And your amighty men shall be dismayed and demoralized, O 1bTeman,So that everyone from the mountain of Esau may be ccut off in the slaughter.
Edom Denounced
10 “Because of the aviolence you did against your brother Jacob,Shame shall cover you completely,bAnd you shall be cut off forever.11 “On the day that Jerusalem was destroyed you astood aloof from your brother Jacob—On the day that strangers took his forces captive and carried off his wealth,And foreigners entered his gatesAnd bcast lots for Jerusalem dividing the city for plunder—cYou too were like one of them collaborating with the enemy. Num 20:18-20; Amos 1:11, 1212 “aDo not gaze and gloat in triumph over your brother’s day,The day when his misfortune came.bDo not rejoice over the sons of JudahIn the day of their destruction;cDo not speak arrogantly jeering and maliciously mockingIn the day of their distress.13 “Do not enter the gate of My peopleIn the aday of their disaster;Yes, you, do not look with delight on their miseryIn the day of their ruin,And do not bloot treasuresIn the day of their ruin.14 “Do not astand at the crossroadTo cut down those of Judah who escaped;And do not hand over to the enemy those of Judah who surviveIn the day of their distress.
The Day of the LORD and the Future
15 “For the judgment aday of the LORD draws near on all the nations.bAs you have done, it shall be done to you in retribution;Your evil cdealings will return on your own head. Ps 137:7-9; Is 2:10-22; Zeph 3:8-20; Zech 12:1-14; Rev 19:11-2116 “Because just as you Edom adrank on bMy holy mountain desecrating it in the revelry of the destroyers,So shall all the nations cdrink continually one by one, of My wrath;Yes, they shall drink and swallow the full measure of punishmentAnd become as though they had never existed. Rev 16:14-1617 “But on Mount aZion in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance for those who escape,And it shall be holy no pagan will defile it;And the house of Jacob shall bpossess their former possessions. Ezek 36; Joel 2:3218 “Then the house of Jacob shall be a afireAnd the house of Joseph a flame in executing God’s wrath;But the house of Esau will be like stubble.They (Jacob) shall set them on fire and consume them (the Edomites) ,So that there shall be bno survivor of the house of Esau,”For the LORD has spoken. Ezek 25:12-1419 Then those of the Negev shall apossess the mountain of Esau,And those of the Shephelah shall possess the bPhilistine plain;Also, they shall cpossess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria,And Benjamin will possess Gilead across the Jordan River. Amos 9:12; Zeph 2:720 And the exiles of this host of the sons (descendants) of IsraelWho are among the Canaanites as far as aZarephath,And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in 1SepharadShall possess the bcities of the Negev.21 The adeliverers shall go up on Mount ZionTo rule and judge the mountain of Esau,And the bkingdom and the kingship shall be the LORD’S. Zech 12:8, 9; Mal 1:2-5; Matt 24:27-30; Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17
