The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 36: Abdias: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Obadiah
1:12. But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day
of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children
of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy
mouth in the day of distress.
Thou shalt not look, etc... or, thou shouldst not, etc. It is a
reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration
that these things should not pass unpunished.-Ibid. Thou shalt not
magnify thy mouth... That is, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against
the children of Juda as insulting them in their distress.
1:13. Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of
their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of
his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day
of his desolation.
1:14. Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee:
and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of
tribulation.
1:15. For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast
done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own
head.
1:16. For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall
drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be
as though they were not.
1:17. And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and
the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.
1:18. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a
flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shall be kindled in them,
and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of
Esau, for the Lord hath spoken it.
1:19. And they that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of
Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall
possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin
shall possess Galaad.
1:20. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the
places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of
Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, shall possess the cities of the south.
1:21. And saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of
Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.
