Obadiah 1:10-21

10Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.

11On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.

12You should not gloat over your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble.

13You should not march through the gates of my people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over them in their calamity in the day of their disaster, nor seize their wealth in the day of their disaster.

14You should not wait at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor hand over their survivors in the day of their trouble.

15“The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.

16Just as you drank on my holy hill, so all the nations will drink continually; they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been.

17But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.

18Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no survivors from Esau.” The LORD has spoken.

19People from the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau, and people from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.

20This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan will possess the land as far as Zarephath; the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the towns of the Negev. 21Deliverers will go up on Or from Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the LORD ’s.
