Humillación de Edom

Visión de Abdías.Así dice el Señor DIOS¹ acerca de Edom^a:Hemos oído un mensaje del SEÑOR^b,y un mensajero ha sido enviado a las naciones^c, diciendo:Levantaos y alcémonos contra él en batalla^d.

2 He aquí, te haré pequeño entre las naciones^a;despreciado eres en gran manera.3 La soberbia de tu corazón te ha engañado^a,tú que habitas en las hendiduras de la peña¹^b,en las alturas de tu morada;que dices en tu corazón:«¿Quién me derribará por tierra^c?».4 Aunque te remontes^a como el águila,y aunque entre las estrellas^b pongas tu nido,de allí te derribaré—declara el SEÑOR.5 Si vinieran a ti ladroneso salteadores de noche¹^a(¡cómo quedarías arruinado!),¿no robarían hasta que les bastara?²Si vinieran a ti vendimiadores,¿no dejarían rebuscos^b?6 ¡Cómo será escudriñado Esaú^a,y rebuscados sus tesoros escondidos!7 Hasta la frontera te echarántodos tus aliados¹^a;te engañarán, te dominaránlos que están en paz contigo;los que comen tu pantenderán emboscada contra ti^b.(No hay entendimiento en él²^c.)8 ¿No destruiré en aquel día—declara el SEÑOR—a los sabios de Edom^ay el entendimiento del monte de Esaú?9 Entonces tus valientes serán atemorizados^a, oh Temán^b,de modo que todo hombre será cortado del monte de Esaú con muerte violenta^c.

10 Por la violencia contra tu hermano Jacob^a,te cubrirá la vergüenza,y serás cortado para siempre^b.11 El día que te pusiste a un lado^a,el día en que extraños se llevaban su riqueza,y extranjeros entraban por su puertay sobre Jerusalén echaban suertes^b,tú también eras como uno de ellos^c.12 No te alegres¹ en el día de tu hermano,en el día de su exterminio^a;no te alegres de los hijos de Judá^ben el día de su destrucción;sí, no te jactes²^cen el día de su angustia.13 No entres por la puerta de mi puebloen el día de su ruina^a.Sí, no te alegres tú de¹ su desgraciaen el día de su ruina;no te apoderes de sus riquezas^ben el día de su ruina.14 No te apostes en la encrucijadapara exterminar a sus fugitivos^a,y no entregues a sus sobrevivientesen el día de su angustia.

Restauración de Israel

15 Porque se acerca el día del SEÑOR sobre todas las naciones^a.Como tú has hecho, te será hecho^b;tus acciones recaerán sobre tu cabeza^c.16 Como vosotros bebisteis^a en mi santo monte^b,así beberán continuamente todas las naciones.Beberán y tragarán¹^c,y serán como si no hubieran sido.17 Pero en el monte Sión quedará un remanente,y será lugar santo^a,y la casa de Jacob volverá a tomar sus posesiones^b.18 Entonces la casa de Jacob será un fuego^a,y la casa de José una llama,y rastrojo la casa de Esaú.Los¹ quemarán y los² consumirán,y no quedará sobreviviente^b alguno de la casa de Esaú—porque el SEÑOR ha hablado.19 Entonces los del Neguev¹ poseerán el monte de Esaú^a,y los de la Sefela²^b la llanura de los filisteos^c;poseerán también el territorio de Efraín y el territorio de Samaria^d,y Benjamín poseerá Galaad.20 Y los desterrados de este ejército de los hijos de Israelque están entre los cananeos hasta Sarepta^a,y los desterrados de Jerusalén que están en Sefarad,poseerán las ciudades del Neguev^b.21 Y subirán libertadores^a al monte Siónpara juzgar al monte de Esaú,y el reino será del SEÑOR^b.

Edom Will Be Humbled

The vision of Obadiah.

Thus says the Lord GOD concerning ¹^aEdom—^bWe have heard a report from the LORD,And an ^cambassador has been sent among the nations, saying,“²^dArise, 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 ¹^bTeman,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
