Abdia 1:10

10 A cagione della violenza fatta al tuo fratello Giacobbe, tu sarai coperto d’onta e sarai sterminato per sempre.

Abdia 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.

Abdia 1:10 In-Context

8 In quel giorno, dice l’Eterno, io farò sparire da Edom i savi e dal monte d’Esaù il discernimento.

9 E i tuoi prodi, o Teman, saranno costernati, affinché l’ultimo uomo sia sterminato dal monte di Esaù, nel massacro.

10 A cagione della violenza fatta al tuo fratello Giacobbe, tu sarai coperto d’onta e sarai sterminato per sempre.

11 Il giorno che tu gli stavi a fronte, il giorno che degli stranieri menavano in cattività il suo esercito, e degli estranei entravano per le sue porte e gettavan le sorti su Gerusalemme, anche tu eri come uno di loro.

12 Ah! non ti pascer lo sguardo del giorno del tuo fratello, del giorno della sua sventura. Non gioire de’ figliuoli di Giuda il giorno della loro ruina; e non parlare con tanta arroganza nel giorno della distretta.
