Obadiah 1

Gen Z: Obadiah 1

1Yo, this is Obadiah's vision. God’s like, “Heard some tea about Edom. Time to pop off and battle these heathens.”

2Check it, you’re low-key irrelevant among the heathens; everyone’s low-key hating on you.

3Your heart's pride is sus, chilling in the rocks like, “Who can bring me down?”

4Even if you’re flying high like an eagle, I’ll still bring you down, says the Lord.

5If thieves hit you up at night, they’d take only what they need, right? Grapegatherers don’t leave empty-handed!

6Bro, Esau’s secrets are getting exposed; like, how is this happening?

7Your homies have dipped on you; the ones you trusted are now your enemies, eating your bread and leaving you wounded.

8Bet I’ll wipe out the wise guys in Edom and take away their understanding, says the Lord.

9Your strong crew, Teman, is shook; everyone from Esau’s crew is about to get wrecked.

10Your savage moves against Jacob are gonna leave you ashamed; you’re getting cut off for good.

11When you stood on the sidelines while strangers took your bro's stuff, you were just as sus as them.

12You shouldn’t have been vibing when your bro was in trouble or flexing while Judah was getting wrecked.

13You shouldn't have rolled up on my people during their struggle, nor touched their stuff when they were down.

14And you definitely shouldn’t have blocked the escapees or thrown your own under the bus when things got tough.

15The Lord’s day is coming for all the heathens; what goes around comes around, fam.

16You’ve been sipping on my holy mountain, so now all the heathens are gonna drink and forget they even existed.

17But Zion’s gonna be lit with deliverance and holiness; Jacob’s house will get their blessings.

18Jacob’s fam will be fire, Joseph’s a flame, and Esau’s just gonna be burnt out; nothing left of Esau, for real.

19The south’s gonna take over Esau’s mountain, and the plains will own the Philistines; Ephraim and Samaria are getting claimed by Benjamin.

20The captives of Israel are gonna take over the Canaanites, all the way to Zarephath; Jerusalem’s captives will own the southern cities.

21Saviors are rolling up on Zion to judge Esau’s mountain; the kingdom’s all about the Lord.

KJV: Obadiah 1

1The 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.

2Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

3The 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?

4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.

5If 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?

6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

7All 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.

8Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

9And 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.

10For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

12But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

13Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

14Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

15For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

16For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

17But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

18And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.

19And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.

21And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
