Obadiah 1:11-18
Obadiah 1:11-18 TPT
You deserted Israel at her time of need. On that day of infamy, you stood aloof and did nothing as foreigners broke through the city gates of Jerusalem and divided the city among themselves by casting lots. Strangers carried off all her treasures, and you were as one with the invaders. Do not gloat over your relatives on the day of their misfortune. Do not rejoice over the people of Judah on the day of their ruin. Do not boast that they suffered such anguish. You should not have entered my people’s city on their day of calamity. You should not have feasted your eyes on their suffering on their day of misery. You should not have seized their wealth on their day of sorrow. You should not have waited at the crossroads to cut off those who tried to escape. Why did you hand over their survivors on the day of their distress?” “The day of YAHWEH is drawing near for all the nations. As you have done to others, so will it be done to you: you will be paid back for all that your deeds deserve. “Just as you have drunk and caroused on my sacred hill, so all the surrounding nations will drink continually from my bitter cup of judgment. They will drink and drink and gulp it down, but they will stagger and be destroyed.” “But on Mount Zion a remnant will escape, for that place will be a reconsecrated sanctuary. And Jacob’s tribes will possess what is rightfully theirs by inheritance. Then the people of Judah will be a fire, the people of Israel a flame, and the people of Esau like stubble. They will set them on fire and consume them, and there will be no survivors from Esau’s descendants. I, YAHWEH, have spoken.”
