The LORD will punish Edom. Ob.1.2-9 | notes| 1 | Obadiah | Reference | ץבדיה | 1 |
| 2 | Behold, I will make you small among the nations, you shall be utterly despised. | The LORD will punish Edom. Ob.1.2-9 | הִנֵּה קָטֹן נְתַתִּיךָ בַּגֹּויִם בָּזוּי אַתָּה מְאֹד׃ | 2 |
| 3 | The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, whose dwelling is high, who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?" | זְדֹון לִבְּךָ הִשִּׁיאֶךָ שֹׁכְנִי בְחַגְוֵי־סֶּלַע מְרֹום שִׁבְתֹּו אֹמֵר בְּלִבֹּו מִי יֹורִדֵנִי אָרֶץ׃ | 3 | |
| 4 | Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, thence I will bring you down, says the LORD. | אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כֹּוכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אֹורִידְךָ נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ | 4 | |
| 5 | If thieves came to you, if plunderers by night - how you have been destroyed! - would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? | אִם־גַּנָּבִים בָּאוּ־לְךָ אִם־שֹׁודְדֵי לַיְלָה אֵיךְ נִדְמֵיתָה הֲלֹוא יִגְנְבוּ דַּיָּם אִם־בֹּצְרִים בָּאוּ לָךְ הֲלֹוא יַשְׁאִירוּ עֹלֵלֹות׃ | 5 | |
| 6 | How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out! | אֵיךְ נֶחְפְּשׂוּ עֵשָׂו נִבְעוּ מַצְפֻּנָיו׃ | 6 | |
| 7 | All your allies have deceived you, they have driven you to the border; your confederates have prevailed against you; your trusted friends have set a trap under you - there is no understanding of it. | עַד־הַגְּבוּל שִׁלְּחוּךָ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי בְרִיתֶךָ הִשִּׁיאוּךָ יָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ לַחְמְךָ יָשִׂימוּ מָזֹור תַּחְתֶּיךָ אֵין תְּבוּנָה בֹּו׃ | 7 | |
| 8 | Will I not on that day, says the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? | הֲלֹוא בַּיֹּום הַהוּא נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי חֲכָמִים מֵאֱדֹום וּתְבוּנָה מֵהַר עֵשָׂו׃ | 8 | |
| 9 | And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter. | וְחַתּוּ גִבֹּורֶיךָ תֵּימָן לְמַעַן יִכָּרֶת־אִישׁ מֵהַר עֵשָׂו מִקָּטֶל׃ | 9 | |
