Obadiah 1:3-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of the rock,
On the
height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
‘Who will bring me down to earth?’
4
Though you make
your home
high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,' declares the
Lord
.
5
'If thieves came to you,
If robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal
only
until they had enough?
If grape-pickers came to you,
Would they not leave
some
gleanings?
6
Oh how Esau will be searched,
And
his hidden treasures searched out!
7
All the people allied with you
Will send you to the border,
And
the people at peace with you
Will deceive you
and
overpower you.
They who eat
your bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is no understanding in him.)
8
Will I not on that day,' declares the
Lord
,
'Eliminate wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9
Then your warriors will be filled with terror, Teman,
So that everyone will be eliminated from the mountain of Esau by murder.
King James Version
Chapter 1
3
The 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?
4
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the
Lord
.
5
If 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?
6
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7
All 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.
8
Shall I not in that day, saith the
Lord
, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9
And 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
3
Your arrogant heart has deceived you,
you who live in clefts of the rock
in your home on the heights,
who say to yourself,
"Who can bring me down to the ground?"
4
Though you seem to soar like an eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
even from there I will bring you down. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
5
If thieves came to you,
if marauders by night—
how ravaged you would be!—
wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
wouldn’t they leave some grapes?
6
How Esau will be pillaged,
his hidden treasures searched out!
7
Everyone who has a treaty with you
will drive you to the border;
everyone at peace with you
will deceive and conquer you.
Those who eat your bread
will set a trap for you.
He will be unaware of it.
8
In that day— this is the
Lord
’s declaration— will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom
and those who understand
from the hill country of Esau?
9
Teman, your warriors will be terrified
so that everyone from the hill country of Esau
will be destroyed by slaughter.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
3
You have been deceived by your own pride
because you live in a rock fortress
and make your home high in the mountains.
‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’
you ask boastfully.
4
But even if you soar as high as eagles
and build your nest among the stars,
I will bring you crashing down,'
says the
Lord
.
5
'If thieves came at night and robbed you
(what a disaster awaits you!),
they would not take everything.
Those who harvest grapes
always leave a few for the poor.
But your enemies will wipe you out completely!
6
Every nook and cranny of Edom
will be searched and looted.
Every treasure will be found and taken.
7
'All your allies will turn against you.
They will help to chase you from your land.
They will promise you peace
while plotting to deceive and destroy you.
Your trusted friends will set traps for you,
and you won’t even know about it.
8
At that time not a single wise person
will be left in the whole land of Edom,'
says the
Lord
.
'For on the mountains of Edom
I will destroy everyone who has understanding.
9
The mightiest warriors of Teman
will be terrified,
and everyone on the mountains of Edom
will be cut down in the slaughter.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
3
The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,
in your lofty dwelling,
who say in your heart,
"Who will bring me down to the ground?"
4
Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down, declares the
Lord
.
5
If thieves came to you,
if plunderers came 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?
6
How Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7
All your allies have driven you to your border;
those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you —
you have no understanding.
8
Will I not on that day, declares the
Lord
,
destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of Mount Esau?
9
And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman,
so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
New International Version
Chapter 1
3
The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4
Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,"
declares the
Lord
.
5
"If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
6
But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7
All your allies will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread will set a trap for you,
but you will not detect it.
8
"In that day," declares the
Lord
,
"will I not destroy the wise men of Edom,
those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9
Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau’s mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
3
The pride of your heart has deceived you,
You
who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is high;
You
who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
4
Though you ascend
as
high as the eagle,
And though you set your nest among the stars,
From there I will bring you down,” says the
Lord
.
5
“If thieves had come to you,
If robbers by night—
Oh, how you will be cut off!—
Would they not have stolen till they had enough?
If grape-gatherers had come to you,
Would they not have left
some
gleanings?
6
“Oh, how Esau shall be searched out!
How
his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
7
All the men in your confederacy
Shall force you to the border;
The men at peace with you
Shall deceive you
and
prevail against you.
Those who eat
your bread shall lay a trap for you.
No one is aware of it.
8
“Will I not in that day,” says the
Lord
,
“Even destroy the wise
men
from Edom,
And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
9
Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau
May be cut off by slaughter.
