If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

The Book of Obadiah
Chapter 1
001:001 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord
GOD concerning
Edom; We have heard
a rumour from the LORD, and an
ambassador
is sent among the
heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise
up
against her in battle.
001:002 Behold, I have made thee small among the
heathen: thou art
greatly
despised.
001:003 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee,
thou that
dwellest in the clefts
of the rock, whose habitation is
high;
that saith in his heart, Who
shall bring me down to the
ground?
001:004 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and
though thou set
thy nest among the
stars, thence will I bring thee down,
saith
the LORD.
001:005 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night,
(how art thou
cut off!) would they
not have stolen till they had enough?
if
the grapegatherers came to
thee, would they not leave some
grapes?
001:006 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are
his hidden
things sought up!
001:007 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee
even to the
border: the men that
were at peace with thee have
deceived
thee, and prevailed
against thee; that they eat thy bread
have
laid a wound under thee:
there is none understanding in him.
001:008 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even
destroy the wise
men out of Edom,
and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
001:009 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed,
to the end
that every one of the
mount of Esau may be cut off by
slaughter.
001:010 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame
shall cover
thee, and thou shalt
be cut off for ever.
001:011 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side,
in the day
that the strangers
carried away captive his forces,
and
foreigners entered into his
gates, and cast lots upon
Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
001:012 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of
thy brother
in the day that he
became a stranger; neither shouldest
thou
have rejoiced over the
children of Judah in the day of
their
destruction; neither
shouldest thou have spoken proudly in
the
day of distress.
001:013 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of
my people in
the day of their
calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have
looked
on their affliction in the
day of their calamity, nor have
laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
001:014 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the
crossway, to cut off
those of his
that did escape; neither shouldest thou
have
delivered up those of his
that did remain in the day of
distress.
001:015 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the
heathen: as thou
hast done, it
shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall
return
upon thine own head.
001:016 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so
shall all the
heathen drink
continually, yea, they shall drink, and
they
shall swallow down, and they
shall be as though they had not
been.
001:017 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and
there shall be
holiness; and the
house of Jacob shall possess their
possessions.
001:018 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the
house of
Joseph a flame, and the
house of Esau for stubble, and
they
shall kindle in them, and
devour them; and there shall not
be
any remaining of the house of
Esau; for the LORD hath spoken
it.
001:019 And they of the south shall possess the mount of
Esau; and
they of the plain the
Philistines: and they shall possess
the
fields of Ephraim, and the
fields of Samaria: and Benjamin
shall possess Gilead.
001:020 And the captivity of this host of the children
of Israel shall
possess that of
the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and
the
captivity of Jerusalem, which
is in Sepharad, shall possess
the
cities of the south.
001:021 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to
judge the mount of
Esau; and the
kingdom shall be the LORD's.
