Abdías 1:10

10 Por la violencia contra tu hermano Jacob, te cubrirá la verguenza, y serás cortado para siempre.

Abdías 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Obadiah 1:10

For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob
Which is aggravated: by being against Jacob, an honest plain hearted man, and whom the Lord loved; his brother, his own brother, a twin brother, yea, his only brother; yet this is to be understood, not so much of the violence of Esau against Jacob personally, though there is an allusion to that; as of the violence of the posterity of the one against the posterity of the other; and not singly of the violence shown at the destruction of Jerusalem, but in general of the anger they bore, the wrath they showed, and the injuries they did to their brethren the Jews, on all occasions, whenever they had an opportunity, of which the following is a notorious instance; and for which more especially, as well as for the above things, they are threatened with ruin: shame shall cover thee;
as a garment; they shall be filled with blushing, and covered with confusion, when convicted of their sin, and punished for it: and thou shalt be cut off for ever;
from being a nation; either by Nebuchadnezzar; or in the times of the Maccabees by Hyrcanus, when they were subdued by the Jews, and were incorporated among them, and never since was a separate people or kingdom.

Abdías 1:10 In-Context

8 ¿No destruiré en aquel día declara el SEÑORa los sabios de Edom y el entendimiento del monte de Esaú?

9 Entonces tus valientes serán atemorizados, oh Temán, de modo que todo hombre será cortado del monte de Esaú con muerte violenta.

10 Por la violencia contra tu hermano Jacob, te cubrirá la verguenza, y serás cortado para siempre.

11 El día que te pusiste a un lado, el día en que extraños se llevaban su riqueza, y extranjeros entraban por su puerta y sobre Jerusalén echaban suertes, tú también eras como uno de ellos.

12 No te alegres en el día de tu hermano, en el día de su exterminio; no te alegres de los hijos de Judá en el día de su destrucción; sí, no te jactes en el día de su angustia.
