Obadiah / Question
Question source
Obadiah
Obadiah says the reason is “the violence done to your brother Jacob,” bringing shame and being “cut off forever” (Obadiah 1:10). He points to the day Edom stood aloof while foreigners entered Jerusalem’s gates and cast lots for it (Obadiah 1:11).
10For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
