THE PROPHECIE OF ABDIAS.
note
Abdias borne in Sichem, of the tribe of Ephraim, prophecied the
same time with Amos; so briefly that his prophecie is not parted into
chapters: 1. against the Idumeans; foreshewing their destruction; 10. for
their perpetual emnitie against the Iewes, and confederacie with the Chaldees.
17. The captiuitie and relaxation of the Iewes. 19. And redemption of
the whole world by Christ.
note
1 The vision of Abdias. Thus sayth our Lord God
to Edom: We haue heard a bruit from our Lord,
and he note hath sent a legate to the Gentils: Rise ye,
and let vs arise against him into battel.
2 Behold I
haue geuen thee a litle one in the Gentils: thou art cont&ebar;ptible
excedingly.
3 The pride of thy hart hath extolled thee, dwelling
in the clefts of rockes, exalting thy throne: which sayst in
thy hart: Who shal plucke me downe to the earth? note
4 If thou
shalt be exalted as an eagle, and if thou shalt set thy nest among
the starres: thence wil I plucke thee downe, sayth our
Lord.
5 If theues had gone in to thee, if robbers by night,
how hadst thou held thy peace? would not they haue stolen
thinges sufficent for themselues? if the grape gatherers had entered
into thee, would they not haue left thee at the least a cluster?
6 How haue they searched Esau, haue they sought out his
hidden thinges?
7 Euen to the border haue they cast thee out:
al the men of thy league haue mocked thee: the men of thy
peace haue preuailed against thee: they that eate with thee,
shal lay embushments vnder thee: there is no wisedom in
him.
8 Why, shal not I in that day, sayth our Lord, destroy the
wise out of Idumea, and prudence from the mount of Esau,
9 And thy valients of the South shal feare, that man may perish
from the mount of Esau
10 For the slaughter, and for the
iniquitie against thy brother Iacob, confusion shal couer thee,
and thou shalt perish for euer.
11 In the day when thou stoodest
against him, when strangers tooke his armie, and foreners
entered his gates, and vpon Ierusalem cast lotte: thou also
wast as one of them.
12 And note thou shalt not dispise in the day
of thy brother, in the day of his peregrination: and thou shalt
not reioyce ouer the children of Iuda, in the day of their perdition:
& thou shalt not magnifie thy mouth in the day of distresse.
-- --
13 Neither shalt thou enter the gate of my people in the day of
their ruine: neither shalt thou also dispise in his euils in the day
of his destruction: and thou shalt not be sent out against his
armie in the day of his destruction.
14 Neither shalt thou stand
in the outgoings to kil them that flee: and thou shalt not shut
vp his remnant in the day of tribulation.
15 Because the day
of our Lord is at hand vpon al nations: as thou hast done, so
shal it be done to thee: thy retribution he wil returne vpon
thine owne head.
16 For as you haue drunke vpon my holie
mount, shal al Gentils drinke continually: & they shal drinke,
and swallow vp, and they shal be as though they were not.
17 And in note mount Sion shal be saluation, and it shal be holie:
and the house of Iacob shal possesse those that had possessed
them.
18 And the house of Iacob shal be a fyre, and the house
of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shal
be kindled in them, and shal deuoure them: and there shal be
no remaynes of the house of Esau, because our Lord hath spoken.
19 And note they that are toward the South, shal inherite the
mount of Esau, and they in the champaine countries, Philisthiims:
and they shal possesse the region of Ephraim, and the
region of Samaria: and Beniamin shal possesse Galaad.
20 And
the transmigration of this host of the children of Israel, al
places of the Chananeits euen to Sarepta: and the transmigration
of Ierusalem, that is in Bosphorus, shal possesse the cities
of the South.
21 And sauiours shal ascend into mount Sion to
iudge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shal be to our
Lord.
