¹And I saw  ²another strong Angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the  ³rainbow was upon His head, and His face was like the  ⁴sun, and His feet like  ⁵pillars of  ⁶fire;

And He had in His hand a  ¹little opened scroll. And He placed His  ²right foot on the sea and the left on the land;

And He cried out with a loud voice just as a  ¹lion roars. And when He cried out, the  ²seven thunders uttered their own voices.

And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of heaven saying, Seal the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them.

And the Angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up His right hand to heaven

And  ¹swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the  ²things in it, and the earth and the  ³things in it, and the sea and the  ⁴things in it, that there shall be  ⁵delay no longer,

But in the  ¹days of the voice of the seventh angel when he is about to trumpet, then the  ²mystery of God  ³is  ⁴finished, as He has announced the  ⁵good news to His own slaves the prophets.

And the voice which I heard out of heaven, I heard again speaking with me and saying, Go, take the opened scroll in the hand of the Angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.

And I went to the Angel and told Him to give me the little scroll. And He said to me, Take it and devour it, and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.

And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the Angel and  ¹devoured it, and it was as  ²sweet as honey in my mouth; and when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

And  ¹they said to me, You must prophesy  ²again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

The vision of  ¹Obadiah.

Thus says the Lord Jehovah concerning  ²Edom,
We have heard a report from Jehovah,
And an envoy has been sent among the nations:
Arise, and let us rise up against it for battle.

Indeed I have made you small among the nations;
You are very despised.

The arrogance of your heart has beguiled you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Whose habitation is lofty,
Who says in his heart,
Who will bring me down to the ground?

Though you set yourself on high like the eagle
And though you make your nest among the stars,
I will bring you down from there,
Declares Jehovah.

If thieves came to you,
If spoilers in the night —
How you would be cut off! —
Would they not steal only their fill?
If grape gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave gleanings?

How thoroughly searched Esau is!
How sought out his hidden treasures are!

All the men of your  ¹confederacy
Have sent you away to the border;
The men who were at peace with you
Have deceived you; they have prevailed against you.
They make your bread
A snare under you.
There is no understanding in him.

Will I not in that day,
Declares Jehovah,
Destroy the wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?

And your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman,
So that each one is cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

Because of the violence against your  ¹brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.

In the day that you stood on the side,
In the day that strangers took his substance captive
And foreigners entered into his gates
And cast lots over Jerusalem,
You also were like one of them.

But do not look to the day of your brother, To the day of his misfortune;
Neither rejoice concerning the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction,
Nor boast
In the day of distress.

Do not enter the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity;
Do not look, even you, on his affliction
In the day of his calamity,
Nor send forth your hands on his substance
In the day of his calamity.

And do not stand at the crossroads
To cut off those of his who escape,
Nor deliver those of his who survive
In the day of distress.

For the  ¹day of Jehovah is near
Upon all the nations:
 ²As you have done, it will be done to you;
Your recompense will return upon your head.

For as you have drunk the cup of wrath upon My holy mountain,
All the nations will drink the same continually;
Indeed they will drink and swallow down,
And they will be as though they had not been.

 ¹But in Mount Zion
There will be those who have escaped,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will possess
Their possessions.

And the house of Jacob will be a fire,
And the house of Joseph a flame;
And the house of Esau will be as stubble,
And they will burn among them and devour them;
And there will be no survivor
To the house of Esau,
For Jehovah has spoken.

And those of the south will possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the lowlands, the Philistines;
Indeed they will possess the field of Ephraim
And the field of Samaria,
And Benjamin will possess Gilead.

And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites, will possess as far as Zarephath;
And the captivity of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad,
Will possess the cities of the south.

And saviors will come up on Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the kingdom will be Jehovah's.
