Verse 1א׳Standard3,286
חֲזוֹן עֹֽבַדְיָה כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לֶאֱדוֹם שְׁמוּעָה שָׁמַעְנוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְצִיר בַּגּוֹיִם שֻׁלָּח קוּמוּ וְנָקוּמָה עָלֶיהָ לַמִּלְחָמָֽה
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD, And an ambassador is sent among the nations: ‘Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.’
Verse 2ב׳Standard1,636
הִנֵּה קָטֹן נְתַתִּיךָ בַּגּוֹיִם בָּזוּי אַתָּה מְאֹֽד
Behold, I make thee small among the nations; Thou art greatly despised.
Verse 3ג׳Standard2,920
זְדוֹן לִבְּךָ הִשִּׁיאֶךָ שֹׁכְנִי בְחַגְוֵי־סֶּלַע מְרוֹם שִׁבְתּוֹ אֹמֵר בְּלִבּוֹ מִי יוֹרִדֵנִי אָֽרֶץ
The pride of thy heart hath beguiled thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, Thy habitation on high; That sayest in thy heart: ‘Who shall bring me down to the ground?’
Verse 4ד׳Standard2,496
אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כּֽוֹכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אוֹרִֽידְךָ נְאֻם־יְהוָֽה
Though thou make thy nest as high as the eagle, And though thou set it among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
Verse 5ה׳Standard2,899
אִם־גַּנָּבִים בָּאֽוּ־לְךָ אִם־שׁוֹדְדֵי לַיְלָה אֵיךְ נִדְמֵיתָה הֲלוֹא יִגְנְבוּ דַּיָּם אִם־בֹּֽצְרִים בָּאוּ לָךְ הֲלוֹא יַשְׁאִירוּ עֹלֵלֽוֹת
If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night— How art thou cut off!— Would they not steal till they had enough? If grape-gatherers came to thee, Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
Verse 6ו׳Standard1,255
אֵיךְ נֶחְפְּשׂוּ עֵשָׂו נִבְעוּ מַצְפֻּנָֽיו
How is Esau searched out! How are his hidden places sought out!
Verse 7ז׳Standard4,823
עַֽד־הַגְּבוּל שִׁלְּחוּךָ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי בְרִיתֶךָ הִשִּׁיאוּךָ יָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ לַחְמְךָ יָשִׂימוּ מָזוֹר תַּחְתֶּיךָ אֵין תְּבוּנָה בּֽוֹ
All the men of thy confederacy Have conducted thee to the border; The men that were at peace with thee Have beguiled thee, and prevailed against thee; They that eat thy bread lay a snare under thee, In whom there is no discernment.
Verse 8ח׳Standard1,961
הֲלוֹא בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי חֲכָמִים מֵֽאֱדוֹם וּתְבוּנָה מֵהַר עֵשָֽׂו
Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, Destroy the wise men out of Edom, And discernment out of the mount of Esau?
Verse 9ט׳Standard3,092
וְחַתּוּ גִבּוֹרֶיךָ תֵּימָן לְמַעַן יִכָּֽרֶת־אִישׁ מֵהַר עֵשָׂו מִקָּֽטֶל
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
Verse 10י׳Standard2,034
מֵחֲמַס אָחִיךָ יַעֲקֹב תְּכַסְּךָ בוּשָׁה וְנִכְרַתָּ לְעוֹלָֽם
For the violence done to thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, And thou shalt be cut off for ever.
