Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;

Son of man, set your face against Thaman, and look toward Darom, and prophesy against the chief forest of Negev,

Therefore prophesy, son of man, set your face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and you shall prophesy against the land of Israel,

Son of man, set your face steadfastly against the children of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,

and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, in the opening of my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

Thus says the Lord; Because Moab has said, Behold, are not the houses of Israel and Judah like all the [other] nations?

And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.

And Esau dwelt in Mount Seir; Esau is Edom.

And these are the generations of Esau, the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.

Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given Mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.

and I gave to him Isaac, and to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir for him to inherit. And Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and populous and mighty nation, and the Egyptians afflicted them.

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, with regard to whom You did not permit Israel to pass through their border, when they had come out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned away from them, and did not destroy them)-

And when they began the praise and thanksgiving, the Lord caused the children of Ammon to fight against Moab, and [the inhabitants of] Mount Seir that came out against Judah; and they were defeated.

Then the children of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to destroy and consume them. And when they had made an end of [destroying] the inhabitants of Seir, they rose up against one another so that they were utterly destroyed.

And Amaziah strengthened [himself], and took his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and killed ten thousand of the children of Seir there.

And the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back so that they should not go with him to battle, [went] and attacked the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth Horon; and they killed three thousand among them, and took much spoil.

Thus says the Lord: Because of what the Edomites have done in taking vengeance on the house of Judah, and [because they] have remembered injuries, and have exacted full recompense;

And I will execute My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel; and they shall deal in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath, and they shall know My vengeance, says the Lord.

There are laid the princes of Assyria, who yielded their strength to a wound of the sword; these are laid with the slain, with them that go down to the pit.

Against Your people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against Your saints.

For they have taken counsel together with one consent; they have made a confederacy against You;

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

Do to them as to Midian, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the Brook of Kishon.

Make their princes as Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna; [even] all their princes,

O my God, make them as a wheel, as stubble before the face of the wind.

so shall You persecute them with Your tempest, and trouble them in Your anger.

Let them be ashamed and troubled forevermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.

Draw near, you nations; and hearken, you princes; let the earth hear, and they that are in it; the world, and the people therein.

And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their stench shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood.

My sword has been made drunk in heaven; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and with judgment upon the people doomed to destruction.

And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.

And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day;

and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it; and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it.

And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strongholds; and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches.

There has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young; there have the deer met, and seen one another's faces.

And He shall cast lots for them, and His hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], You shall inherit [the land] forever; they shall rest on it [throughout] all generations.

Who is this that has come from Edom, [with] red garments from Bosor? Thus fair in his apparel, with mighty strength? I speak of righteousness and saving judgment.

I am full of trodden [grapes], and of the nations there is not a man with Me; and I trampled them in My fury, and dashed them to pieces as earth, and brought down their blood to the earth.

And I looked, and there was no helper; and I observed, and none upheld; therefore My arm delivered them, and My anger drew near.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision:

on Egypt, Edom, Edom, on the children of Ammon, on the children of Moab, and everyone that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.

Concerning Edom, thus says the Lord: There is no longer wisdom in Teman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,

For grape gatherers have come, who shall not leave to you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].

for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in Me.

For by Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be deserted forever.

I have made you small among the nations, utterly contemptible among men.

And Edom shall be a desert; everyone that passes by shall hiss at it.

Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of the Jordan to the place of Etham; for I will speedily drive them from it, and I will set the young men against her; for who is like Me? And who will withstand Me? And who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront Me?

For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.

CHSEN. Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land; yet the cup of the Lord shall pass through to you: you shall be drunken, and pour forth.

THAU. O daughter of Zion, your iniquity has come to an end; He shall no longer carry you captive: He has visited your iniquities, O daughter of Edom; He has discovered your sins.

Thus says the Lord; For three sins of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away from them, because they pursued their brother with the sword, and destroyed the mother upon the earth, and summoned up his anger for a testimony, and kept up his fury to the end.

And I will send forth a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the foundations of her walls.

The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God to Edom; I have heard a report from the Lord, and He has sent forth a message to the nations.

Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.

And you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day of strangers; nor should you have rejoiced against the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have boasted in the day of their affliction.

Neither should you have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither should you have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
