OBADIAH.
THE ARGVMENT.
The Idumeans, which came of Esau, were mortall enemies alway to the Israelites, which came of
Iaakob, and therefore did not onely vexe them continually with sundrie kindes of crueltie, but also
stirred vp others to fight against them. Therefore when they were nowe in their greatest prosperitie, and
did most triumph against Israel, which was in great affliction and miserie, God raysed vp his Prophet to
comfort the Israelites, for as much as God had nowe determined to destroy their aduersaries, which did so
sore vexe them, and to sende them such as should deliuer them, and set vp the kingdome of Messiah, which
he had promised.

Edoms crueltie.
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith
the Lorde God against Edom,
note We haue heard a rumor fr&obar; the
Lorde, and an ambassadour is sent
among the heathen: arise, & note let
vs rise vp against her to battel.
2 Beholde, I haue made thee smal among the
heathen: thou art vtterly despised.
3 The note pride of thine heart hath deceiued
thee: thou þt; dwellest in the cleftes of the rockes,
whose habitati&obar; is hie, that saith in his heart, Who
shall bring me downe to the ground?
4 Though thou exalt thy selfe as the egle, and
make thy nest among the starres, thence will I
bring thee downe, sayth the Lord.
5 noteCame theeues to thee or robbers by night?
howe wast thou brought to silence? woulde they
not haue stolen, til they had ynough? if the grape
gatherers came to thee, woulde they not leaue
some grapes?
6 Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and
his treasures searched?
7 All the men of thy confederacie note haue driuen
thee to þe; borders: the men that were at peace
&wt; thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against
thee: they that eate thy note bread, haue laid a wound
vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding in him.
8 Shall not I in that day, saith the Lorde, euen
destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding
from the mount of Esau?
9 And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide,
because euery one of the mount of Esau
shalbe cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy crueltie against thy note brother Iaakob,
shame shal couer thee, and thou shalt be cut
off for euer.
11 When thou stoodest note on the other side, in
the day þt; the strangers caried away his substance,
and straungers entred into his gates, and cast lots
vpon Ierusalem, euen thou wast as one of them.
12 But thou shouldest not haue beholden the
Fire, flame, and stubble.
day of thy brother, in the day that hee was made
note a stranger, neither shouldest thou haue reioyced
ouer the children of Iudah, in the day of their destruction:
thou shouldest not haue spoken proudly
in the day of affliction.
13 Thou shouldest not haue entred into the
gate of my people, in the day of their destruction,
neither shouldest thou haue once looked on their
affliction in the day of their destruction, nor haue
layde hands on their substance in the day of their
destruction.
14 Neyther shouldest thou haue stande in the
crosse wayes to cut off them, that shoulde escape,
neither shouldest thou haue shut vp the remnant
thereof in the day of affliction.
15 For the day note of the Lorde is neere, vpon
all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall bee
done to thee: thy reward shall returne vpon thine
head.
16 For as yee haue note drunke vpon mine holy
Mountaine, so shall all the heathen drinke continually:
yea, they shall drinke and swallow vp, and
they shalbe note as though they had not bene.
17 But vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance,
and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall
possesse their possessions,
18 And the house of Iaakob shalbe note a fire, &
the house of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau
as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and
deuoure them: and there shall bee no remnant of
the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 And they shall possesse the South side of
the note mount of Esau, and the plaine of the Philistims:
and they shall possesse the fieldes of Ephraim,
and the fieldes of Samaria, and Beniamin shall
haue Gilead.
20 And the captiuitie of this host of the children
of Israel, which were among the note Canaanites,
shall possesse vnto Zarephath, and the captiuitie
of Ierusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possesse
the cities of the South.
21 And they note that shal saue, shal come vp to
mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the
kingdome shalbe the Lords.
