1:1 For ver. 1-4, see Jer. 49:14-16We have heard a report from the Lord,
and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”
2Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
you shall be utterly despised.2 Or Behold, I have made you small among the nations; you are utterly despised
31:3 [Num. 24:21, 22] The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,3 Or of Sela
in your lofty dwelling,
1:3 [Isa. 14:13-15]who say in your heart,
“Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,
declares the Lord.
if plunderers came by night—
how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If 1:5 Jer. 49:9grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
61:6 [Jer. 49:10]How Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7All your allies have driven you to your border;
those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
1:7 [Ps. 41:9] those who eat your bread7 Hebrew lacks those who eat have set a trap beneath you—
1:7 [Jer. 49:7]you have7 Hebrew he has no understanding.
destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of 1:8 [Ezek. 35:2]Mount Esau?
9And your mighty men shall be dismayed, 1:9 Amos 1:12; See 1 Chr. 1:45O Teman,
so that every man from 1:9 [See ver. 8above]Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
Edom’s Violence Against Jacob
101:10 Num. 20:20, 21Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
1:10 [Ezek. 35:9]and you shall be cut off forever.
111:11 Ps. 137:7; [Jer. 12:14] On the day that you stood aloof,
1:11 See 2 Kgs. 25:10-20on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
1:11 Joel 3:3and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
in the day of his misfortune;
in the day of their ruin;
1:12 [1 Sam. 2:3]do not boast12 Hebrew do not enlarge your mouth
in the day of distress.
131:13 [Prov. 17:5] Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
1:13 [Prov. 17:5] do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
1:13 [Ezek. 35:10]do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
141:14 [Ezek. 21:21]Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
The Day of the Lord Is Near
1:15 Jer. 50:29; Ezek. 35:15; Hab. 2:8As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.
and it shall be holy,
1:17 [Amos 9:12]and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
181:18 Zech. 12:6; [Isa. 10:17; Jer. 5:14] The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau 1:18 See Joel 2:5stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
1:18 Ezek. 25:14and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.
