8 Flee!+ Let yourselves give way! Go down deep in order to dwell,+ O inhabitants of Deʹdan!+ For the disaster of Eʹsau I will bring in upon him, the time that I must turn my attention to him.+

5 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Certainly in the fire of my zeal I will speak+ against the remaining ones of the nations and against Eʹdom, all of it,+ those who have given my land to themselves as a possession with the rejoicing of all the heart,+ with scorn in [the] soul,+ for the sake of its pasture ground [and] for the plunder.’”’+

11 “This is what Jehovah has said, ‘On account of three revolts of Eʹdom,+ and on account of four, I shall not turn it back, on account of his pursuing his own brother with the sword,+ and [because] he ruined his [own] merciful qualities,+ and his anger keeps tearing away forever; and his fury—he has kept it perpetually.+

1 The vision of O·ba·diʹah:

This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said regarding Eʹdom:+ “There is a report that we have heard from Jehovah, and there is an envoy that has been sent among the nations, ‘Rise up, YOU people, and let us rise up against her in battle.’”+

10 Because of the violence to your brother Jacob,+ shame will cover you,+ and you will have to be cut off to time indefinite.+
