Obadiah 1:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
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.
10
'Because of violence to your brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you,
And you will be eliminated forever.
11
On the day that you stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
You too were as one of them.
King James Version
Chapter 1
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.
10
For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11
In 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
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.
10
You will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever
because of violence done to your brother Jacob.
11
On the day you stood aloof,
on the day strangers captured his wealth,
while foreigners entered his city gate
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were just like one of them.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
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.
10
'Because of the violence you did
to your close relatives in Israel,
you will be filled with shame
and destroyed forever.
11
When they were invaded,
you stood aloof, refusing to help them.
Foreign invaders carried off their wealth
and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem,
but you acted like one of Israel’s enemies.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
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.
10
Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.
11
On the day that you stood aloof,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
New International Version
Chapter 1
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.
10
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob,
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.
11
On 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.
New King James Version
Chapter 1
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.
10
“For violence against your brother Jacob,
Shame shall cover you,
And you shall be cut off forever.
11
In the day that you stood on the other side—
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
When foreigners entered his gates
And cast lots for Jerusalem—
Even you
were
as one of them.
